Ways to Make Sunshine

Renee Watson introduces us to Ryan, a strong, confident fourth-grader who is trying to live up to the meaning of her name:  LEADER.  The reviews compare her to Ramona Quimby.  In this first of a series, Ryan faces some challenges:  a talent show, her dad losing his job, and a new house.  All the while, she tries to make sunshine out of the bad and live up to her name.  (FIC WAT)
