Alfie wants to participate in the best parts of being a kid, from his friend Antoinette’s birthday party to the relay races at school. But his shyness keeps him from engaging. When Alfie wakes up with That Feeling on the morning of yet another big event—the underwater costume parade—his mom takes him to the aquarium. There, Alfie meets a starfish who shines so boldly Alfie feels small. But suddenly, a tiny clownfish swims up to Alfie for a quick hello and retreats again. Alfie begins to understand that there’s a happy medium between hiding away and being the star, and that he needs to come out of hiding every once and awhile to make meaningful connections.

When lifelong friends Lola, Belle, Maisie and Sophia reunite at their beloved Corner Park Clubhouse for the winter school holidays, Lola has a great idea: they'll&nbsp;enter the local drama competition! It's the perfect way to spend as much time together as possible, and there are&nbsp;prizes for best actor, director and sets. As an artist, Lola's determined her sets will win - but there's just one&nbsp;problem. She can't figure out what to paint, or even how to get started. And that's because of something that happened at her super sophisticated&nbsp;art school last term - something Lola can't discuss with anyone. Not her bestie, Belle, who's brought her new friend Matilda home for the holidays. Not Maisie, who's always busy with gym. Not Sophia, who's focused on her secret crush. And not even her cool older sister, Tally, who's at a conference in New York. With no-one to turn to but herself, can Lola figure out how to get her creativity back - before it's too late? From beloved author Davina Bell comes this sparklingly funny and heartfelt middle-grade series, for fans of&nbsp;Friday&nbsp;Barnes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Ann M. Martin's iconic&nbsp;Baby-Sitters Club&nbsp;series. &nbsp;
