Marcy’s life is a mess. Her parents don’t understand her, she feels like a fat blimp with no friends, and her favorite teacher just got fired. Ms. Finney wasn’t like the other teachers, and she was helping Marcy feel good about being herself. Now that she’s gone, Marcy doesn’t know what to do. She’s always thought things would be better if she could just lose weight, but the loss of Ms. Finney sparks something inside her. She decides to join the fight to bring back her teacher, and in doing so, she discovers that her voice might matter more than she ever realized.

      Marcy and her classmates have mixed emotions as they face Ms. Finney, their new teacher. (They have driven away her predecessor.) However, Ms. Finney turns out to be different. Her teaching style is unusual, but they enjoy her class, and they are learning. Full Cast Audio enhances this classic. Every character is perfectly realized, conveying the pain, pleasure, and confusion that are prerequisites to growing up. In a moving afterword, the late Paula Danziger shares how she was drawn to write the book. She points out, accurately, that nearly everything is as relevant today as it was in 1974. S.G.B.
