Bookroo's summary
Gertie Reece Foy is determined to prove she doesn't need her absent mother by becoming the best fifth grader ever. But when new girl Mary Sue Spivey arrives with the same goal, Gertie faces unexpected competition. As the rivalry heats up, Gertie must navigate friendship, ambition, and self-discovery. Will she achieve her mission, or will the challenge teach her something more important? Dive into a tale of humor, heart, and the quest for greatness.
From the publisher
Gertie Reece Foy is 100% Not-From-Concentrate awesome. She has a daddy who works on an oil rig, a great-aunt who always finds the lowest prices at the Piggly Wiggly, and two loyal best friends. So when her absent mother decides to move away from their small town, Gertie sets out on her greatest mission yet: becoming the best fifth grader in the universe to show her mother exactly what she’ll be leaving behind. There’s just one problem: Seat-stealing new girl Mary Sue Spivey wants to be the best fifth grader, too. And there is simply not enough room at the top for the two of them.
