Marya Khan and the disastrous class project / written by Saadia Faruqi ; illustrated by Ani Bushry.
"It's time for her class's country project, and Marya is super excited. She loves public speaking, and she's assigned Pakistan, where her family is from. But Marya has two problems: She doesn't actually know very much about her grandparents' country, and she's paired with new kid Waleed, who is so shy he can barely talk, let alone present to the class. Marya figures if she can just befriend Waleed, he'll help her make the best project ever. It's time for Operation Make a Friend! But how do you make a friend? Play sports? Make jokes? With time running out before the big presentation, Marya worries she'll never get this Waleed kid to loosen up. But after researching a lot about friendship-and Pakistan-she might be able to save this project yet!"-- Back cover.
