Bookroo's summary
Nine-year-old Maryellen Larkin craves individuality amidst her bustling family. A painting blunder and a daring haircut bring unexpected attention, while a new friendship challenges old bonds. In sunny Florida, she dreams of a white Christmas. Can Maryellen navigate these changes and make her dreams come true? Discover her journey of self-discovery and friendship in the 1950s.
From the publisher
Maryellen Larkin is nine years old and longs to stand out, but in a family with five brothers and sisters it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle! A painting mishap gains her some attention, but not the kind she’s been longing for. Being invited to stay in at recess and practice her handwriting earns Maryellen a new friend, but what does that mean for her old friendships? Then, Maryellen is wishing for a white Christmas like the ones in the movies (not very likely in Florida!) Will she find a way to make her dream come true?
