Bookroo's summary

Sarah, a third-grader with a flair for the extraordinary, faces a challenge: choosing a country for her school report. Initially drawn to England, she finds it lacks the exotic allure she craves. A sleepover at her friend Mercedes' home opens her eyes to the vibrant culture of Mexico. Will Sarah's newfound inspiration lead to a presentation that stands out? Discover how a simple night with a friend transforms her perspective and ignites her creativity.

From the publisher

Sarah Simpson likes to think of ideas that are anything but ordinary. When her third-grade teacher asks each student to pick a country and give an oral report, Sarah wants her choice to be really special. Maybe she should talk about England, since England has a queen and a castle. But as she learns more, she discovers that England isn’t quite as interesting as she thought. For one thing, the English speak the same language as Americans. Sarah finally thinks of a new idea when she sleeps over at her friend Mercedes’ apartment and learns wonderful things about Mexico.
