1-3Bossy Flossie series.
Illustrated by
Pierre Collet-Derby.
While Flossie's heart is in the right place, her entrepreneurial ideas and strong opinions get her a reputation as "bossy." Flossie recruits new kid Billy to help her raise money for their third-grade class garden and gains a friend when she gives up her controlling ways (Biz Whiz); Flossie learns about teamwork during a holiday charity drive (Success). Green-tinged illustrations highlight the realistic grade-school dramas at play. Review covers these titles: Biz Whiz and The Secret to Success.
