Miss Popular Steals the Show: Girls in Wheelchairs Rule!

Miss Popular Steals the Show: Girls in Wheelchairs Rule!

How far will Bix go to be popular?
A delightful and humorous diary account from “Bix,” a plain Jane from a struggling family trying to outdo and steal the third-grade classroom stage from Valerie, whose mother is a famous author. Miss Popular may be a wheelchair-user, but she knows how to charm the classroom, and her pink bejeweled wheelchair rules. In a pique of frustration, Bix resorts to lies to steal the limelight from Miss Popular. She also announces that she will be having a puppy shower, and everyone except Miss Popular is invited. Can Bix pull it off?

Readers will:

  • Learn the importance of honesty
  • Discover that being loved and being popular are not the same thing
  • Find out how even a small act of kindness pays big dividends
  • Learn how to rise above circumstances to be a better person

Here’s an interview I had with Archie Comics about how their new character, Harper, was inspired by me. I was incredibly excited about doing this interview with comic genius, Dan Parent. After all, this man is a legend. I’m so surprised I didn’t throw up due to hyper activity! lol

I’ve been DYING to share this news with you. I finally got the green light! If you know anything about me, you’re well aware that I’m a HUGE fan of “Archie Comics”. Well…I have MAJOR news. Yours truly (me!), has directly inspired a new character in “Archie Comics”. She’s created by comic genius/wizard, Dan Parent. This man is a legend in the comics world. Harper is his mastermind, and the cousin of, Veronica Lodge. She’s eccentric, a fashionable diva and a wheelchair-user. (Does this sound like someone else? Hmmm.) Harper will be launched in issue #656 of “Archie”. It hits newsstands on June 18. Show your support! P.s. Do you think Harper and I, look alike???
