Junie B. Jones, "First Grader Shipwrecked" by Barbara Park

"Ship ahoy! Room One is putting on a play. It's about explorers looking for the New World! Plus here's the bestest news of all -- Junie B. Jones thinks she might be the star of the whole entire production. Only, sailing the ocean blue is not as easy as it looks, apparently. 'Cause problems keep on happening. Like the actors keep catching the flu. And bossy May keeps trying to take over the show. Can this play be saved? Or is Room One in for a disaster at sea that they will never forget?"
