Marty McGuire Has Too Many Pets!

170 pp. | Scholastic | January, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-53559-5 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Floca. Marty and her friends launch a pet-sitting business to raise money for freed laboratory chimps, but the pets prove more challenging than anticipated. Meanwhile, her class prepares a talent show. Likable characters; realistic yet quirky school and family scenes; and clever, age-appropriate language create a welcoming school story with a twist. Floca's cheerful black-and-white illustrations offer literal interpretations of the action.
