Play It Again, Mallory

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jennifer Kalis. In her twentieth outing, Mallory once again has to make the best of a bad situation. This time it's a six-week arts program, which Mallory had been eagerly anticipating...until she's assigned to play the tuba in the school band. How the reliably likable protagonist, with a teacher's help, deals with the humiliation makes for an enjoyable story.
