About this Item

This is a pristine and unread copy from the first printing of the first edition of this groundbreaking debut novel for young readers, a book later reissued as "Melissa." The book was signed by the author at an event in Washington, DC the month Scholastic released it, and has been stored flat in archival conditions since it was released when I worked for the publisher. This is a gift-worthy copy of this important book. Please see my attached photos.

Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte. But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part . . . because she's a boy. With the help of her best friend, Kelly, George comes up with a plan. Not just so she can be Charlotte -- but so everyone can know who she is, once and for all.
