But Star can't stay sad. She's too busy having adventures! One day she does go to school - in a milk truck! On Halloween, she and her friends play a funny trick - and scare the big kids. Then Star finds Butch, a new friend who's just her age. Butch and Star discover something terrific - that makes all the other children wish they could stay home from school too! When her birthday comes, Star has only one wish - for a very special present. Will her wish come true?
