1-3Molly Mac series.
The spunky African American protagonist finds herself in awkward situations at elementary school. Molly is (perhaps overly) concerned new girl Tori is a snack- and friend-thief (Bandit); Molly loses her lucky pencil at the unluckiest time: before the school-wide art show (Lucky). Tidy spot illustrations show the dramas unfold in these run-of-the-mill school stories. Discussion questions and writing prompts are included. Glos. Review covers these Molly Mac titles: The Best Friend Bandit and Lucky Break.
