The third installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.

Millie Magnus just knows she was born for the stage. So when the Overlook Little Theatre holds auditions for a new show, she's certain she will be the star. Even better, Grandma Sookie, a real-life singing star, is in town just in time to give Millie all of her advice.
    But when the cast list is announced, Millie Magnus’s dreams of the spotlight fizzle. Her best friend, Poppy Anne, gets the starring role. While Poppy Anne dances center stage, Millie Magnus is stuck in the background . . . as a tree.
    The show must go on and so must Millie Magnus, but she’s stuck battling a twisty, yucky new feeling in her stomach. Will she let jealousy upstage her love for Poppy Anne? Or, with a little help (and a lot of wisdom) from Grandma Sookie, will she discover that being a good friend is the most important role of all?

Praise for Millie Magnus Is NOT Jealous

Praise for Millie Magnus for Mayor:
"Mazique offers another well-paced narrative, once more nailing Millie Magnus’ voice, difficulties, and feelings. Glenn’s perky, sure-handed line and grayscale cartoons bring to life an appealingly self-confident character and an encouraging supporting cast. . . .A satisfying sequel whose lively protagonist continues to learn and grow." —Kirkus Reviews

"Millie is personality-plus . . and her sweet and slightly brassy narration models how mix-ups can often be improved with open communication.”—The Washington Post
Praise for Millie Magnus Won't Be Bullied:
“Vivacious third grader Millie likes to think she’s the boss . . . [A] charming series kickoff, confidently narrated by Millie and complemented by energetic b&w illustrations.” —PW

“A new series starring a whimsical protagonist certain to endear herself to readers . . . Millie narrates her own well-paced story in a flow of verbiage . . . [and] a relatable awareness of her struggles with impulse control.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A cute social-emotional read for kiddos . . . Millie Magnus is a self-assured third grader with her own unique style . . . [and] Glenn’s excellent grayscale artwork brings Millie’s story to life.” —School Library Journal

“Millie’s story outlines what to do when a person is being bullied in an accessible way for young kids.
