Bookroo's summary

Mya Tibbs, a spirited fourth grader, feels overshadowed by her siblings at home. A school newspaper project seems like her chance to shine, but it also pits her against rival Naomi. When Mya's attempt to impress her friends Skye and Starr backfires, she risks losing their friendship. Can Mya navigate this tangled web and find her way back to the spotlight? Join her on a wild ride of mistakes, rivalry, and redemption.

From the publisher

The third book in the hilarious middle-grade series about Mya, the cowgirl-loving fourth grader–perfect for fans of Ramona the Pest and Clementine. This chapter book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 7 to 9 who are reading independently. It’s a fun way to keep your child engaged and as a supplement for activity books for children.Things have changed in the Tibbs house, and Mya isn’t happy about it. She’s stuck in the middle between an exceptionally cute baby sister and an exceptionally smart older brother. And her tired parents seem to only notice the “exceptional” kids in the house.So when a class project lassoes Mya into starting her own school newspaper, she’s sure this will earn her the star status she wants from her parents. But the same project also gives Mya’s archenemy, Naomi Jackson, a chance to prove she is a better friend to the twins, Skye and Starr, than Mya is . . . and soon Mya feels caught in the middle again, just like at home. Good gravy in the navy! When Mya makes a monumental mistake in an effort to celebrate the twins, she stands to lose everything, including their friendship. Now she has to figure out how to get back in the saddle, grab those reins, and gallop her way toward fixing everything.
