MARCY'S NEWS

Hi there - I'm Marcy! You all know who I am! That's right, I'm in the Toocool books. I was totally sick of Toocool being the hero and thinking he was in charge. "Ssoooo" I decided I'd have my own book series. Not surprisingly my book series is called Marcy. So watch out for the 10 books coming your way later this year, with fun characters you've met before, as well as some new ones. Susan Halliday and Phil Kettle (you know him,he writes the Toocool books) are the authors, and Pearson Education is the publisher. So I'll see you soon. And remember if there's anything YOU need to know, just ask me, because I'm Marcy and I'll have the answer!
