Maya longs to be in Mr Kelly's play! She can already see herself on the stage, waving her arms around and saying her words so loudly everyone at the back can hear. Wonderful! But then there's an unexpected problem... With short chapters, simple words and sentences and pictures throughout, The Same Old Story Every Year is terrific for developing readers.
