Synopsis

In this first book of her series, Maryellen Larkin wants to stand out. But with five brothers and sisters, it’s not so easy.

Giving herself a haircut doesn’t go quite the way she expects—and when she draws a cartoon of her teacher on the first day of fourth grade, she draws more attention than she wants! At least her drawing skills help her make an interesting new friend. Together, they might be able to win the Geography Bee—but only if Maryellen can find a way to help her old friends get past their prejudice.

This audiobook includes a historical “Looking Back” section.

About The Author

Valerie Tripp says that she became a writer because of the kind of person she is. She says she’s curious, and writing requires you to be interested in everything. Talking is her favorite sport, and writing is a way of talking on paper. She’s a daydreamer, which helps her come up with her ideas. And she loves words. She even loves the struggle to come up with just the right words as she writes and rewrites. Ms. Tripp lives in Maryland with her husband.

I miss the historical notes and photos at the end of the book as they appeared in the earlier American Girl books. They added depth and background and made the books useful for teaching a historical period.......more

Goodreads review by Emily on April 30, 2017

This book crammed what would've been Mary Ellen's meet book, her school book and her Christmas book into one with just a bunch of chapters and no dividers between where the different stories would be. So I felt like each storyline didn't really get the depth it would've gotten if the books were stil......more

Goodreads review by Jessa on January 02, 2017

I enjoyed this way more than I had expected. Maryellen is endearing and well-intentioned. I guess it says something when you start identifying more with the mom in the stories.........more
