Summary

There’s trouble for everyone when a TV star comes to town in this entry from the classic, hit series. 
 
Stoneybrook has gone star-crazy! Derek Masters, an eight-year-old regular on a hit TV sitcom, has moved to town. Everyone’s wondering what a real-live TV star will be like—will he drive to school in a limo? 
 
Jessi can’t believe it, but even stars need baby-sitters, and she’s the lucky club member to watch Derek Masters. Even though a lot of kids at school call Derek a spoiled brat, Jessi likes him immediately. He rides bikes and eats junk food like a normal kid, but he has exciting stories about Hollywood, too! 
 
Pretty soon baby-sitting and ballet are starting to look kind of boring next to TV scripts and cameras. Maybe Jessi would like to be a star, too! 
 
The best friends you’ll ever have—with classic BSC covers and a letter from Ann M. Martin!
Available since: 07/30/2013.
