Description

Young readers will cheer for Annie as she discovers her own community spirit and the pride and pleasure that come from giving of oneself. Annie's grandmother used to be lots of fun, but things have changed. Now Grandma is the mayor, and she doesn't have much time to spend with Annie anymore. With Grandma suddenly very busy and important, Annie feels left out. But late one night, after a terrible fire breaks out in a neighborhood apartment building, Annie comes to feel proud of her capable, caring grandmother — and of herself, too!  At first I wanted Grandma to be the mayor. I even helped her get the job. I passed out flyers, helped put up signs, and stuffed envelopes for her campaign. I thought all she would have to do was ride on a float in the Fourth of July parade, be on television, and lead the Pledge of Allegiance. And then I could say, “That’s my Grandma. She’s the mayor.” But I’ve changed my mind. Now that she got elected, I don’t think it’s such a good idea. Do you want to know why?
