Description
Maude wants to be a member of the Bug-of-the-Month Club in her new neighborhood and decides that her entrance speech will be about fireflies. She reads, she researches, she prepares, and she delivers a speech that all the club members love-except for hard-to-please Louise. Louise won't even let Maude in the club! So Maude vows to really let Louise have it for being so rude-but when she does, it's not in the way anyone expects. A sparkly story about friendship, kindness, and inclusion-packed with info about fireflies, too!
