Marty is a tomboy forced to portray the princess in the school play. By combining her ingenuity and her love of nature, she saves the production, makes her parents proud, and gets her best friend back. This elementary-school story, with spirited black-and-white illustrations, is highly readable, with engaging characters and accessible language.
