"Can Karen be a movie star too?"

In "Karen's Movie Star," a Hollywood movie called 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' is being filmed in Stoneybrook, Connecticut, starring 8-year-old Allison Hunter. To her delight, 7-year-old Karen Brewer and her two friends, Nancy Dawes and Hannie Papadakis, are chosen as extras. Not only that, but parts of the movie are going to be filmed just outside of Karen's house. But Karen wants to be more than just an extra. She wants to be a movie star and Allison's friend. Can she be both?I usually like the black-and-white illustrations in all of the BSLS books, which are drawn by Susan Tang, but the ones in "Karen's Movie Star" are rather sloppy compared to the earlier drawings in this series. But, overall, this was a pretty good BSLS book, even though there is some really sad news about the family cat, Boo-Boo.
