Going Offbeet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945713415)

Zoey copies Gertie's smiley faces. She copies her numbers. She even sits next to Gertie at lunch and tries to copy her best friend. Then Zoey goes too far. She copies the thing that Gertie likes best about herself, the thing that makes her different from everybody else in class. How do you get a copycat to stop, when everything you try just makes your problems bigger?

About the Series

Gertie Green (you'd better not call her Gertrude!) is a feisty first-grader with the spunk of Junie B. and the literal mind of Amelia Bedelia. She's an outdoor kid who enjoys fresh air, gardens, and dirt. Whether she's planting seeds or digging them back up, trying out a new purple veggie or rage gardening (Gertie-style), one thing you can be sure of is that she's going to solve her problem with the help of whatever she happens to be growing at the time. Each book features a different vegetable as a key part of the story and includes how-to-grow information for young gardeners.
