Marty McGuire by Kate Messner and Brian Floca
A fun, accessible chapter-book debut from an exciting new talent--simultaneous hardcover-paperback launch!
Marty McGuire would rather spend recess catching frogs in the pond than playing dress-up with the other girls in third grade. So when her teacher casts Marty as the princess in the class play, Marty's absolutely, positively sure that there's been a huge mistake. But after a special lesson in the art of improvisation, Marty comes up with her OWN plan to IMPROVE the play: Why use stuffed-animal frog onstage when a live one would be so much better? In the end, Marty's one-of-a-kind performance makes for an unforgettable show. Maybe Marty CAN live happily ever after, after all! (from Amazon's product information)
We picked this book up for our daughter when she was in third grade, and she breezed through it. Several times. And a few more times. Now that she's 11, she claims that it wasn't that great a book, but I'd go with a different story. The books she loves get read over and over again, so I'm thinking that she probably enjoyed this book immensely.
