[edit] Summary
Every pre-teen girl in Odyssey is trying to win a day with a soap opera star in a contest. Connie wins and we find out that the girls' hero is an ordinary guy.
[edit] Plot
At the Electric Palace one afternoon, Bart Rathbone notices Kim Peterson and Erica Clark glued to the row of televisions. They are watching a show starring the character Chad Pearson. Bart notices how devoted the girls are to this TV personality, and he recognizes a potential money-making opportunity. He sponsors a contest. The winner gets to spend a day with the actor Nick Grant, who plays Chad Pearson!
The young girls of the town are ecstatic at the prospect, especially Erica. But she is terribly disappointed when the winner of the contest turns out to be . . . Connie Kendall! As it turns out, Connie couldn’t be less interested in the whole situation. Nick ends up to be a nice guy who isn’t at all like his television character, but who is lonely. And Connie ends up making a new friend.

- Why or why not?
- Why was Connie so disinterested in Nick (Chad) at first?
- What made her change her mind?
