Maven Takes the Lead is the first in a must-read middle grade series from Girl Scouts of the USA about a group of fifth-graders with lots of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. This novel written by award-winning author Yamile Saied Méndez is perfect for readers who love The Baby-Sitter's Club and American Girl's Girl of the Year series.
After you have read Maven Takes the Lead, Girl Scout Juniors can join together for a fun and interactive book discussion.
The Zoom link for this virtual discussion will be emailed to registrants the week of the event.
"Maven Takes the Lead" custom iron-on patches will be mailed to participants after attending.
Borrow Maven Takes the Lead from Libby or your local library, or purchase the book from your local bookstore or the GSUSA shop.
Here's a summary of the book:
"Maven wants to be known
for something great. She had been nervous about starting fifth grade
after spending all summer with her little brother and baby cousins. So
when her fifth grade teacher announces a district-wide robotics
competition, she jumps at the opportunity to be the class's leader.
Being in charge is better and cooler than playing make-believe, right?
Many people doubt her, especially the boys in her class, but with the
support of her friends and Girl Scout troop, Maven is determined to
prove them wrong. Then, she goes overboard with her dedication to the
competition, and she seems to be disappointing everyone-including
herself. She begins to realize maybe being herself is what she needed
to do all along."
