Hair's Looking at You (Katharine the Almost Great) Lisa Mullarkey

Katharine has a decision to make--a hairy scary decision! When Penelope Parks cuts her hair for charity, Katharine's classmates donate their hair, too. But Katharine isn't so sure she wants barely-there hair. Does that mean she's not a caring kid? Penelope says it's the only way to show you shine and sparkle on the inside . . . but is it? Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 2-5.

From the Publisher
Third grader Katharine Carmichael, aka Katharine the Almost Great, is a work-in-progress. Katharine's convinced that if she'd stop blabbing super-duper secrets to her cousin Crockett, conquer her stage fright-itis, and come up with the winning idea for the character education service project, her parents would finally crown her Katharine the Great. Young readers will relate to her flip-flop belly dropping problems and episodes of sassitude in these entertaining, illustrated chapter books.
