Marsha is a scientist who has never met a problem she couldn't solve. But when it comes to making friends to invite to her birthday party, she is stumped. Luckily, Marsha knows the solution to being stumped: the scientific method. With equal parts creativity, determination, and humor, Marsha sets out to attract as many friends as she can — what could possibly go wrong?
In this hilarious celebration of friendship and ingenuity, Beth Ferry and Lorena Alvarez show readers that the best way to attract friends is to simply be yourself! Kids will giggle at Marsha's literal take on a "magnetic personality" and at the wacky effects of Marsha's super-powered magnetic helmet. With vivid, cartoonish illustrations, this book is a sweet, STEAM-themed tribute to a girl whose devotion to the scientific method ends up paying unexpected dividends.
"Kids who struggle to navigate school social pressures will recognize themselves in Marsha’s story, and they’ll be drawn to her determination to make friends without squelching her own distinctive personality." — Publishers Weekly
