      Cover

      All About Me!

      Name: Molly Mac

      People in my family: Mom, Dad, Drooly baby brother Alex

      My best friend: Kayley!!!!

      I really like: Crunchy delicious tacos! But not if they have tomatoes on them. Yuck! They are squirty and wet.

      When I grow up I want to be: An artist. And a famous animal trainer. And a professional taco taster. And a teacher. And a super hero. And a lunch lady. And a pirate!

      My special memory: Kayley and I camped in my yard. We made s'mores with cheese. They were surprisingly un-delicious.

      Chapter 1

      Speed-Reading Stinker

      Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp. Ffffp.

      Molly Mac flipped through the pages of her book during quiet reading time.

      Kayley looked over at her. What are you doing, Molly? she whispered.

      Speed reading, Molly whispered back.

      Whoa, Kayley gasped. Can you really read that fast?

      Not exactly, Molly said. I just learned about speed reading. I’m still in the development stage.

      But why do you want to read so fast? Kayley asked.

      Molly held up her book. Because this book really stinks.
