Starring Dorothy Kane (1992)
Dorothy is the middle child and experiences stage fright in the second book in the Kane family series. Dorothy is the most like me as a child---I was in the middle, and had awful stagefright.

"With a good balance of school stuff and amusing family drama, this story, like Beverly Cleary’s books about Ramona, will appeal to both little brothers and big sisters, and make a sturdy bridge between read-aloud and read-alone." --Bulletin

"A nice bridge between beginning chapter books and middle-grade fiction; Dorothy and family will find fans."--Booklist
