1. Fiona Finkelstein, Big-Time Ballerina!! – Sometimes Fiona Finkelstein’s life seems to be a lot like a TV show — everywhere she goes, there’s a lot of drama. That’s what being nine in Ordinary, Maryland, is like when your dad is the chief meteorologist for the local TV station, your mom lives in California and stars in a soap opera, and your little brother thinks he’s a superhero. But right now, life is even better than TV, because Fiona Finkelstein has a chance to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a big-time ballerina. There’s just one problem: In her last recital, Fiona starred as the unforgettable Fiona VOMITstein — all over the stage, and all over Benevolence Castles’s can-can costume.
Can Fiona overcome her fears so that she can finally be a big-time ballerina in the local holiday production of The Nutcracker? Or will she remain the only one in her family who has the flat-out worst case of stage fright ever?
2. Fiona Finkelstein Meets Her Match!! – In addition to ballet, Fiona is out to prove she has other talents. Such as… match-making. She sets out to start a club with her friends and classmates to pair teachers and friends together– but in the end, learns that she is much better at match-BREAKING
3. Don’t Chicken Out – Fiona lands herself in a fairground fluster in this conclusion to the mischievous and charming Not-So-Ordinary Girl trilogy.
Fiona is tired of hearing “no” from everyone. Especially when it is followed by: “You’re not old enough.” Can she go all the way to California by herself to visit her mom? “Not on your life,” says Dad. Can she do something more exciting than handing out maps at the Great Ordinary Fair along with the rest of Mr. Bland’s class? “Not until next year, when you’re in fifth grade,” answers Mr. Bland.
Fiona sets out to prove that she is, in fact, old enough to do things on her own—and ends up babysitting chickens in the fair’s poultry pavilion. It’s not easy being trustworthy and mature, especially when nobody is paying attention. But when the feathers start to fly at the Great Ordinary Fair, Fiona sticks her neck out for a new friend (and a bunch of chickens) and learns a few things about herself and what it means to take responsibility, even when things go really wrong.
