Written by Michelle Edwards
Pa Lia Vang, Calliope James, and Howie Smith are all in Mrs. Fennessey’s second-grade class at Jackson Magnet—and so is Stinky Stern. Stinky can be a pain, and sometimes he’s downright mean, like when Howie loses her voice at the talent show. But Pa Lia, Calliope, and Howie have one another (and Howie’s grandma’s famous cookies), to help when any one of them feels blue.
