Riley Reynolds Glitterfies the Gala

By Jay Albee

Mama is throwing a fundraiser gala at the library branch where she works. Nonbinary fourth grader Riley is there, with streamers to hang from every bookshelf, bannister, and door. Riley glitterfies the entire library! But will anyone come? And if they do, will they raise enough money to repair the library’s broken elevator? In a neighborhood like Riley’s, you know this will be a night to remember.
