Millie Magnus Won’t Be Bullied

K-Gr 3–Millicent Magnus Miller—that full name usage signaling trouble, ahem—makes a mighty debut in Mazique’s entertaining new series, spiritedly animated by Leigh’s enthusiastic performance. Millie Magnus—her preferred moniker—is inarguably her own boss, “at least most of the time.” Occasionally she must concede to Mayor Maude’s rules, because she’s the mom (and DC’s mayor), and to Josephine Draper because, since Millie Magnus’s dad’s passing, Josephine is Mayor Maude’s assistant not just for “city stuff, but for home stuff, too.” Her three “bestest” friends make third grade great, although “mean ole Buckley” who “lately...picks on just about everyone” is a daily challenge. With her favorite Field Day fast approaching, Millie Magnus needs to figure out how not to let the bully ruin the fun. Quite a few surprises—and solutions—await.
