Gr 2-5-Effervescent seven-year-old Lola Levine tackles life with energy, bubbling-over enthusiasm, and her best friend, Josh, at her side. In this second book in the series, Lola and her classmates learn that they will attend drama class two days a week and perform in a play. Although she has been called dramatic, Lola isn't quite sure what she thinks of acting. When she auditions for a part, she is struck by stage fright and has to settle for the nonspeaking role of Squirrel #2. Thankfully, her artistic parents and her visiting Bubbe are right there to cheer her on. Readers will find much to love in Lola and her nurturing family. Dominguez's illustrations provide just the right touch to enhance the story. VERDICT This multicultural chapter book is a wonderful addition to public and school libraries. Highly recommended for fans of Sara Pennypacker's "Clementine" series (Hyperion).-Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, Bowling Green, KY

Gr 1-3-Shalom! Lola, a spunky half-Jewish, half-Peruvian girl, faces a new challenge: drama class and the class play. Lola considers herself a dramatic person and dreams of being the star of the show, but when Lola freezes up at her audition, she gets cast as Squirrel #2, a nonspeaking part. Still, the show must go on. Young readers will identify with Lola's plight and root for her throughout. Charming black-and-white illustrations bring the characters to life. Fans of characters like Clementine and Judy Moody will love Lola, too, and the book includes cultural details that make this series a good choice for everyday diversity. Now out in paperback.
