Much to her dismay, Nancy has been chosen for the relay team in this year`s Field Day at school. Despite her many natural talents, Nancy isn`t much of a runner. She`s afraid of letting her team down—especially after finding out that an unkind (that`s another word for mean) girl in her class is on the team too. With a little help from her dad, Nancy tries her best, stands up for herself, and makes a new friend.

Fancy Nancy and the Mean Girl is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it`s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. The back matter features a list of the rich vocabulary words that are used throughout the story along with their definition.
