Gloria Rising
Synopsis
Sometimes it's the little things that are really big, Gloria learns when her mom sends her to the grocery store for an onion. Because of the onion, she meets Dr. Grace Street, an astronaut. But how is she supposed to understand Dr. Street's advice that the big things are often not as big as they seem? Especially since it's only the beginning of fourth grade and already Gloria has enormous teacher troubles! The Dragon of Doom, a.k.a. Mrs. Yardley, doesn't seem to like Gloria, or anyone else for that matterexcept for Billy Watkins, the class bully. Things go from bad to worse when Billy gets the whole class in trouble. Then a surprise visit from Dr. Street reminds Gloria that she knows how to rise above her difficulties.
In this sincere and funny follow-up to Glorias Way, Gloria learns that a little self-confidence can help her accomplish big things.
