Description

Marsha lives with her parents, step-sisters and step-brother. Zadie, one of her step-sisters, enters Marsha's photo into a contest to find the 'Face of the Year' then tries to spoil Marsha's chances.

Quick Summary

Marsha Martinez gets a shocking surprise when her sneaky step-sister Zadie enters her photo into a competition without asking, turning a simple school contest into a dramatic showdown where Marsha must fight for her moment in the spotlight. Readers will cheer as Marsha navigates family drama, unexpected rivalries, and the pressure of becoming the "Face of the Year" while learning to stand up for herself in a house full of step-siblings. If your kid loves the sibling rivalry and relatable family messiness of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Wimpy Kid" or the underdog stories in "Wonder," they'll be totally hooked on Marsha's journey. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-7 who enjoy realistic fiction with humor, heart, and a dash of competition drama.
