Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon

Molly Lou Melon is short and clumsy, has buckteeth, and has a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor. She doesn’t mind. Her grandma has always told her to walk proud, smile big, and sing loud, and she takes that to heart.

But then Molly Lou has to start in a new school. Ronald Durkin calls her “SHRIMPO!” and “BUCKY-TOOTH BEAVER!” But Molly Lou has learned a lot from her grandma and knows just how to put him in his place-in a very satisfying way.
