Maryellen Larkin is nine years old and longs to stand out, but in a family with five brothers and sisters it's easy to get lost in the shuffle A painting mishap gains her some attention, but not the kind she's been longing for. Being invited to stay in at recess and practice her handwriting earns Maryellen a new friend, but what does that mean for her old friendships? Then, Maryellen is wishing for a white Christmas like the ones in the movies (not very likely in Florida ) Will she find a way to make her dream come true?
A fun read that brought about good laughs and smiles! Much prefer the abridged, illustrated version (with the cover of her painting the door red) over the other (with a cover of her standing up on a swing).
