Books by Pamela Cali Bankston

 It was almost over! Claire Marcheaux, aka Frizzy Frieda, thought she’d survived her first year at Manchac Junior High.  Dreamy Josh, star of the South Claw Crabs Basketball team, had finally noticed her.  Her beloved cousin Jess had moved home.  Life was perfect, until the student council decided to perform a mini-version of the hit musical “Marshland USA.”  Overcome with stage fright, Claire tries to bow out gracefully. But, each attempt pushes her further into the spotlight.  Soon, Frizzy Frieda finds herself cast in a “Drama Day,” both on and off the stage, that no amount of hair spray could control!
