Illustrated by
Mark Teague.
When first-grader Tera has to work on a group project with classmates Horus, Pelly, and Nergal, she considers her bossiness simply a matter of being right, ruins their project, and gets a time-out. Not until reading her favorite book about a league of alien superheroes that night does Tera realize the importance of teamwork. Both the snappy story and the imaginative cartoon illustrations are filled with warmth and humor.
