Plot Summary of Muggie Maggie
"Maggie is a young girl who leads an average life. She goes to school, and plays with her friends. Normally she does well in school, but then comes the day her third grade class is expected to learn to write. Try as she might Maggie can not seem to learn to write, while the other kids make fun of her, Maggie's mom is very supportive. Although Maggie does get frustrated and for a period refuses to try, eventually she is baited into learning when a teacher tricks her into wanting to be able to read hand writing."
Elizabeth Butt, Resident Scholar
