"When Marya's third-grade class participates in taking care of the school's new garden, Marya wants to be the student leader in charge, but every time she tries to prove she has what it takes to be a leader things get messy."--
Perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean and Dory Fantasmagory, this charming new chapter book series by the author of the successful Yasmin series follows a Pakistani-American third-grader whose plans may backfire but whose persistence and heart are inspiring
When Marya arrives at school one day, she’s confused as to why there are a bunch of trucks out front. Not that she’s complaining; Marya LOVES trucks. It turns out, the trucks are there to dig up space for a garden for students to take care of.
Not only will Marya’s third-grade class be the first ones to get to work on it, but Marya’s mum will be helping to teach the kids about gardening and the class will have one student help to lead the charge. Marya REALLY wants to be the class leader... but so does Alexa, her worst enemy. Cue Operation Be a Leader!
Marya is going to work to prove she can make the most beautiful, incredible garden—but is she really just going to make a big mess?

The book receives praise for its genuine humour and warmth, brought to life through well-developed characters. It offers an authentic portrayal of a Muslim, Pakistani family, with relatable protagonist Marya navigating age-relevant struggles and triumphs. The engaging narrative and layered family dynamics make it a recommended addition to children's collections, akin to Renée Watson's series. The lively first-person narrative and attractive illustrations enhance the reading experience.
