SCHOLASTIC INC. Paperback. NEW. Marty McGuire is a spirited young girl who loves spending her time outdoors, specifically by the pond, catching frogs. Unlike the other girls in her third-grade class, Marty is not interested in playing dress-up during recess. She finds joy and excitement in the natural world, rather than pretending to be someone or something she is not. However, Marty's peaceful recesses by the pond are disrupted when her teacher unexpectedly casts her as the princess in the upcoming class play. Marty is convinced that there must be a mistake. How could she, a girl who prefers catching frogs over playing dress-up, possibly be suited for the role of a princess? Marty is unsure of herself and uncomfortable with the idea of acting in front of an audience. Nevertheless, Marty's teacher believes in her and encourages her to give it a try. She introduces Marty to the art of improvisation, teaching her how to think on her feet and make up stories as she goes along. Adaptability and quick thinking are essential skills in acting, and Marty gradually begins to see the potential for creativity within herself. With her newfound understanding of improvisation, Marty devises a plan to improve the play. Instead of using a stuffed animal frog during one of the scenes, Marty suggests using a real, live frog. She believes it would add a unique and authentic touch to the performance. Marty's idea surprises everyone, but her enthusiasm and conviction convince others to give it a chance. As the day of the play approaches, Marty is both nervous and excited. She is determined to make the most of her role as the princess and the addition of the live frog to the performance. The audience eagerly awaits the show, curious to see Marty's one-of-a-kind performance. When the curtain lifts, Marty surprises everyone once again. Her confidence shines through as she delivers her lines and interacts with the cast. And when the time comes for the live frog to make its appearance, Marty handles it with grace and charm, showcasing her love and understanding of the natural world. The audience is captivated by Marty's unique performance, touched by her authenticity and creativity. What was initially seen as a mistake becomes a triumphant and unforgettable show. Marty's unconventional approach to the role of the princess proves that there is no one right way to be, and that embracing our individual passions and strengths can lead to extraordinary results. In the end, Marty not only proves herself as an actress but also learns that she can live happily ever after in her own unique way, without conforming to societal expectations. Her love for nature and her ability to think outside the box make her a remarkable and inspiring character. Marty's story is a reminder to embrace our individuality, to pursue our passions, and to believe in ourselves. It teaches us that by staying true to who we are, we can achieve remarkable things and create unforgettable experiences. Marty's journey from reluctance to triumph is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the importance of embracing our own strengths and passions.
