About Your Turn Marisol Rainey

Newbery Medal winner Erin Entrada Kelly’s alter ego—the effervescent Marisol Rainey—returns in this school story about overcoming stage fright and taking your turn that is just right for fans of Ramona, Clementine, and Ivy & Bean. Under normal circumstances, Marisol loves language arts class. Mrs. Ruby is her favorite teacher and always makes her feel special...until the day Mrs. Ruby makes a horrible, terrible, downright dreadful announcement: All the kids have to write their own haiku. As if that's not bad enough, they have to read their haiku in front of the whole class! Marisol would rather swim through a pack of jellyfish than get up in front of the whole class to read anything, much less a haiku. Maybe she can stay home sick. Maybe she can transfer schools. Maybe she can conjure a spell that makes her disappear. Or maybe, just maybe, she'll figure out a way to take her turn. Told in short chapters, this stand-alone addition to the Maybe Marisol series continues to uplift the small but mighty Marisol. Your Turn Marisol Rainey celebrates the joys of friendship, the triumph of overcoming fears, and the power of believing in yourself.
