Gertie is full of aspirations. She wants to be the best 5th grader in the world! She devises missions and always follows through… whether that means bringing a frog back to life or eating a lifetime supply of Swiss chocolates in five minutes. But why does Gertie want to be the best? It’s so she can win back the mother that abandoned her as a very young girl. Will Gertie succeed in her ultimate mission? Gertie’s Leap to Greatness is full of humor; wild ideas; believable and loveable characters; and page-turning writing. Great for fans of Ramona, The Penderwicks and Harriet the Spy!
