But when her mom walks in on her accidentally looking at some possibly inappropriate photos of her favorite actress, Brie sees her dream of attending the performing arts high school falling apart. So she blurts out that she's been chosen to crown the Mary statue during her Catholic school's ceremony in May. It's a giant honor . . . but Brie is totally lying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The lie works, and Brie's mom is distracted with pride. Unfortunately, Brie has almost no chance to get the job, which always goes to a top student. Someone like Kennedy, the girl everyone expects to crown Mary. Brie turns to Kennedy for help, but sometimes just looking at her gives Brie butterflies. Juggling confusing feelings with the rapidly approaching May Crowning, Brie tries to figure out how to finally make her mother really see her as she is, before her lies catch up with her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Melleby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643751328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643751320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e508102 \/ In the Role of Brie Hutchens...\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nicole Melleby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043699519743,"sku":"9781643751320","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffdb1e95-a812-474b-a1c6-a301b93e8400.jpg?v=1684968643","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-role-of-brie-nicole-melleby-9781643751320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
