When Marya arrives at school one day, she's confused as to why there are a bunch of trucks out front. Not that she's complaining; Marya LOVES trucks. It turns out, the trucks are there to dig up space for a garden for students to take care of. Not only will Marya's third-grade class be the first ones to get to work on it, but Marya's mom will be helping to teach the kids about gardening and the class will have one student help to lead the charge. Marya REALLY wants to be the class leader . . . but so does Alexa, her worst enemy. Cue Operation Be a Leader! Marya is going to work to prove she can make the most beautiful, incredible garden-but is she really just going to make a big mess?
