The first installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.

Millie Magnus has huge love for many things-her mom, her friends, her baby chicken, Extra Spicy, and even her hot pink rain boots. She loves school, too, and can't wait for Field Day, when her mom-the mayor of Washington, D.C.-will be her partner in the three-legged race.

Millie Magnus DOESN'T love it when Buckley, a boy from school, makes fun of her curly hair, or her name, or her friends. And she can't believe it when Buckley is assigned to compete against Millie and her mother at Field Day! But then things get even worse. When Millie's plan to talk to Buckley about his bullying is ruined, SHE ends up in the principal's office.

But Millie's can-do spirit is hard to keep down and her big feelings come in handy when she learns something new about Buckley. She may even find a way to call him a friend.
