Synopsis

Mallory McDonald is going green! As an official member of the Fern Falls Elementary Environmental Committee, Mallory is super excited to make her school and home more environmentally friendly. She’s even selected to be class representative for the all-school Green Fair. But the minute Mallory goes green, everything goes wrong. No one wants her “expert” opinion on how to help the environment. Her classmates don’t want to participate in the Green Fair project she’s created. And worst of all, by the time the fair rolls around, many of them aren’t even speaking to Mallory. Can Mallory find a way to save the planet and her friendships?

From Booklist:

After Mallory becomes class representative for the school’s Green Fair, she adopts a leadership style that includes issuing tickets to friends and family members who waste energy. Hurt when her classmates reject her plan for their Green Fair project, she gradually realizes that she needs to listen to others’ ideas. The first-person story realistically portrays the self-pity, justification, and misery that Mallory endures before she begins to see her actions from a different point of view. Like other books in the Mallory series, this features large type, widely spaced lines, and stylized illustrations. Good chapter-book fare. Grades 2-5. --Carolyn Phelan
