The True Story of Mary,
extract
children's fiction
There are only a few rules in life, and even fewer at Mary's school. One is to do exactly what you're told, and the other is to never stand on your head. Mary doesn't like those rules. An empowering tale of a girl who doesn't want to be restrained. Probably based on a true story. (Plot information sourced from Goodreads)
