Our Generation

Stars in Your Eyes

“Stan, Stan the Magic Man” is the best TV show on the planet. And it’s what all the fourth graders in Sydney Lee’s class are talking about. Stan the Man will be attempting his most dangerous stunt yet—cooking pancakes while balancing on a tightrope over the Galooga Gorge. Will he be able to pull it off? Everyone who’s anyone at Cedar Springs Elementary School will be watching to find out. Everyone, that is, except Sydney Lee. Just as Stan’s about to begin this hair-raising high-wire act, Sydney Lee’s TV goes kaput. Then things go from bad to worse.

Her mom and dad decide to try a family experiment—weeknights will be a TV-free zone at Sydney Lee’s house. Her classmates are beginning to think she’s weird. Plus, she’s five steps behind everyone else in ballet class. Then along comes a big decision that only Sydney Lee can make—to follow along with her friends or to follow her dreams. And what she wants to know is this: “Is there hope for a ballerina like me… and is there life after TV?”

I read my sisters book so I can complete my goal of 48 books and really liked it. I basically only read romance so it was a nice easy change. It reminded me of this series called the Cupcake Diaries that I used to read.

Lorelai’s review: I thought it was amazing! I really like Sydney Lee. I thought her taking dance was good for her. I thought it was the right choice for her to help with the show so she didn’t have to sing about sneezing on a meatball.

[Kristin]

My daughter loved this book, mostly because it's about the doll she got for Christmas!

This book has stayed with me and my heart for over a decade. It was a beautiful story and very relatable for children.

Marie gave it 4 stars. Jon read it to her and said huge time lapses were strange.

[Liberty]

Definitely cute but not as strong as the other two I've read.

[Addie]
