Perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean and Dory Fantasmagory, this charming
new chapter book series by the author of the successful Yasmin series
follows a Pakistani-American third-grader whose plans may backfire but
whose persistence and heart are inspiring
Marya's school is creating a community garden for students to take care
of, and Marya is super excited. Not only will her third-grade class be
the first to work on it, but Marya's mom will be teaching the students
all about gardening. Most importantly, one student will be chosen to
lead the charge. Marya REALLY wants to be the class leader . . . but so
does Alexa, her worst enemy. Cue Operation Be a Leader! Marya plans to
work hard to prove she can be in charge, but nothing she does seems to
make a difference. Birds keep destroying the plants, and none of Marya's
classmates want to listen to her. Can Marya bring everyone together and
make the most beautiful, fabulous garden the school has ever seen?
