The second installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.
When Millie Magnus hears hints of a plan to tear down the neighborhood playground, she knows she and her friends absolutely can't let that happen. Millie believes she's the obvious choice to lead the charge--she lives with the mayor after all. And no one, and I mean no one, cares about saving the playground more than her. But when a group of cool fourth graders known as the Real Chill Pickles join the effort, Millie discovers that being a good leader might be trickier than she thought. The more Millie tries to tell everyone what to do, the more they don't want to work with her. Soon, the Pickles and a few of her friends have quit, leaving Mayor Millie to wonder where she went wrong. Is it possible Millie's memories with her dad at the park have made her a tad overzealous? Can she make up with her friends and confront her fear of change before it's too late?Author Biography
