Attack of the Jolly Orange

Q: What’s orange, taller than two school buses and about to ruin everyone’s good time?A: It’s the Jolly Orange, and it’s rolling this way! Quick, run for your life!When 11-year-old Meg Cooper tells her parents that she doesn’t want to go to Orange Fest this year, they are shocked. You can’t live in Marmalade Falls “The Citrus Capital of Australia” and not go to Orange Fest. It would be like missing Christmas or skipping your birthday.Meg isn’t trying to cause a fuss. She just doesn’t find oranges as “a-peeling” as everyone else does. And she’s sure that this year’s festival will be the same as every other year: people dressed in orange, eating orange snacks, looking at oranges and talking about nothing but oranges.This year Orange Fest has a new attraction. It’s called the Jolly Orange, and it’s going make this year’s festival unforgettable.
