From the publisher:
Martha Mayfield has always been the quiet kid. Martha is, after all, her mother’s daughter. The shy child of an even shyer mum. And she likes it this way. That is, until Martha’s mum loses her job. And Martha’s teacher overlooks her at school. And soon, Martha realises something has to give. Can she really go through life being so quiet that nobody takes her seriously? Should she really keep all her good ideas to herself forever?
The Making of Martha Mayfield is an entertaining and fun read. I especially enjoyed this book as it is very relatable to life as a 10/11 year old. The plot was interesting and easy to follow, and the characters, particularly Martha, seem familiar in a way.
I would definitely recommend this book to others. I really loved it.
