Amy is a nice kid. Too nice. She has not learned to say no, and her fourth-grade classmates take advantage of her. She shares her cookies and ends up with none; she offers to help others clean cafeteria tables and ends up cleaning them alone. Luckily, Amy's grandfather teaches her to stand up for her own rights. Soon she finds she is getting along better with her classmates and having more fun as well. Children's author Marjorie White Pellegrino and illustrator Bonnie Matthews have produced an entertaining and useful book for all of the grade-school Amys you may know.
