The Meaning of Maggie

(2) 4-6 In her debut novel, Sovern introduces readers to determined eleven-year-old Maggie Mayfield. Thinking there's nothing she can't conquer, Maggie is stymied by her dad's mysterious illness--slowly revealed as multiple sclerosis. Maggie's self-realizations come quickly, but her distinct voice, with a snarky superiority that often masks her true vulnerability, creates a character who's not easy to love but tough to forget.
