Marty McGuire by Kate Messner,Brian Floca Pdf

In this fun & accessible chapter book, an irrepressible, third-grade tomboy is cast in the class play and brings her own chaotic spin to the show.

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?
