  The world we live in is, sadly, one where we feel the need to validate our origins and identity in all the wrong ways. There is now a call for radical change in racist mindsets. It's easy to assume that the only racists to be wary of are those who are outspoken and demonstrate their hatred openly and violently. 
  But what about the not so obvious instances of racism? The existence of the kind that is insidious, covert, and just as deadly as blatant hatred? How do we fix it? How do we find out how we ourselves are being racist or adding fuel to the fire without realizing it? What can we do to stop it? How do we guarantee a future that is accepting of everyone, regardless of their race? 
  The fact of the matter is that change can only begin when you have a firm grasp of the problem. This book helps you understand all you need to know about the evils of racism, and it acts as a beacon of hope in the particularly troubling times we live in. 
  Things can be better. Things will be better. The world can become a better, more accepting, non-discriminating place. How can you be a fundamental part of making this happen? Read this book to find out.

  Newbery Medal winner Erin Entrada Kelly’s alter ego—the effervescent Marisol Rainey—returns in this school story about overcoming stage fright and taking your turn that is just right for fans of Ramona, Clementine, and Ivy & Bean. 
  Under normal circumstances, Marisol loves language arts class. Mrs. Ruby is her favorite teacher and always makes her feel special...until the day Mrs. Ruby makes a horrible, terrible, downright dreadful announcement: All the kids have to write their own haiku. As if that's not bad enough, they have to read their haiku in front of the whole class! Marisol would rather swim through a pack of jellyfish than get up in front of the whole class to read anything, much less a haiku. 
  Maybe she can stay home sick. Maybe she can transfer schools. Maybe she can conjure a spell that makes her disappear. 
  Or maybe, just maybe, she'll figure out a way to take her turn. 
  Told in short chapters, this stand-alone addition to the Maybe Marisol series continues to uplift the small but mighty Marisol. Your Turn Marisol Rainey celebrates the joys of friendship, the triumph of overcoming fears, and the power of believing in yourself.
