Making of Martha Mayfield

by Jo Dabrowski

Overview

Martha Mayfield has always been the quiet kid.
Martha is, after all, her mother's daughter. The shy child of an even shyer mum. And she likes it this way.
That is, until Martha's mum loses her job. And Martha's teacher overlooks her at school. And soon, Martha realises something has to give. Can she really go through life being so quiet that nobody takes her seriously? Should she really keep all her good ideas to herself forever?
Putting yourself out there is every quiet kid's worst nightmare, but Martha is determined to make the most of it. And perhaps to make something of herself along the way ...
The Making of Martha Mayfield is an endearing yet funny story about coming out of your shell, finding out what you're capable of, and showing the world who you really are.
