Description
Stella Batts is in third-grade, she wants to be a writer, and her parents own a candy shop. Life should be sweet, right?
In Needs a New Name, Stella decides to change her name after a boy from her class keeps calling her "Smella." How hard can it be to pick a new name? It's not as easy as it sounds.
This best-selling early chapter book series charmingly chronicles the ups and downs of a girl's school and family life with warmth and humor.
