Introducing Iris! An irresistibly charming future movie star, perfect for fans of Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious.

Iris was born to be a star. She loved to sing and dance and act. She knew that one day her face would be on billboards all around the world! But it turns out there's someone else in her house who wants a little time in the spotlight--her younger brother. Who is . . . really talented? There can't possibly be room for two stars in one family! Can Iris learn to share the spotlight? Or is she doomed to give up her dreams of being a star?

Stacy Ebert has penned a completely irresistible, one-of-a-kind character in Iris, who will delight and inspire aspiring stars of all ages.
