My name is Ora M
Weiss
The "M" stands for Miriam, though my mother sometimes says that it stands for "Moody
" ”Welcome to the very first volume in The Starlight Sisters, beloved author Libby Lazewnik's new and amazing series

Lucky Ora
She's got a beautiful voice
She's a whiz at math
And now YES! she's been accepted into Bais Yaakov of Valley Stream, otherwise known as JAPA, the Jewish School for Performing Arts
A unique new school that combines a high-level Bais Yaakov education with intensive training in the performing arts
A school that accepts only the best performers, and trains them to be even better

To get into JAPA you've got to be good
no, great
in either dance, singing or playing a musical instrument
And Ora’s been accepted! How incredible is that!? So, if everything is so incredible -why is everything so terrible?<

<

Mostly, it's because Ora is tired of "playing second fiddle
" Never the tops, never the champion, always second best
She's second fiddle to her sister, who is loved and admired by everyone, teachers and students alike
And second fiddle to the quiet girl who's managed to steal both the best solo in the choir and Ora's best friend
Join Ora and her fellow "Starlight Sisters" Gali, Chaya, and Penny on their quest to spread their own special "starlight" to the world
And get set for a fantastic performance!<
