Description: Marcy's life is a mess. Her parents don't understand her, she feels like a fat blimp with no friends, and her favorite teacher just got fired. Ms. Finney wasn't afraid to try new things in class, and she was helping Marcy feel good about herself. Now she's gone and Marcy doesn't know what to do. Marcy's always thought if only she could lose weight, things would be better. Then Ms. Finney's suspension sparks something inside her. Deciding to join the fight to bring back Ms. Finney, Marcy's confidence grows. She learns that she has the power to impact people's lives, and that her voice matters more than she ever realized. First published in 1974, this timeless classic resonates with every generation.
