Lupe Lopez: Rock Star Rivals!

By Pat Zietlow Miller and E.E. Charlton-Trujillo

The school talent show is days away, and Lupe Lopez has serious competition. Can she rock the notion that performing isn't about beaming the brightest--but about shining your light with others?

As H ctor P. Garcia Elementary's resident rock star, Lupe Lopez has it all. Friends. Fans. An all-girl band. Not to mention several shiny stars on the Reading Wall of Fame. But to officially claim the title of First-Grade Rock Star Supreme, Lupe needs to beam the brightest at Friday's class talent show, and to her surprise, there's a new girl in town. Radiant Reynosa can roll her arms into a wave, pop her hips and sway, stomp the court, jump kick, and forward flip. She can bounce beats and drum like nobody's business, and before Lupe knows it, her own star seems to be dimming in Radiant's shadow, and her attitude is driving her friends and fans away. Can Lupe find a sure way to shine--with friends by her side? Vibrant illustrations and taut, rhythmic text spiced with Spanish words ensure that three's a charm in this upbeat sequel to Lupe Lopez: Rock Star Rules and Lupe Lopez: Reading Rock Star
