Stella can't wait to start school. But just before the beginning of the school year, her parents tell her some terrible news: the family is moving. When the moving van arrives, Stella is very sad to leave her familiar neighborhood and friends. In her new neighborhood in Berry Bay, Stella makes some new friends. But at Berry Bay School, Stella has more trouble getting used to things-especially Casserole Day in the cafeteria and her strict new teacher.
