X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>March's book is The Adventures of Invisibl
 e Boys by Doogie Horner. Register in person at the library. Registration o
 pens February 16th. If your student has dietary restrictions that we need

 :</p>\n<p>Marcus McCalister wants to fit in. So much so that he&rsquo\;s s
 till playing on a soccer team with his childhood friend Ted\, despite not 
 liking soccer―or Ted―all that much.</p>\n<p>Izzy Briggs want
 s to stand out. Being labeled the &ldquo\;weird kid&rdquo\; for her bold f
 ashion choices is the price an aspiring designer must pay for a life of gr
 eatness―but being confident isn't always easy.</p>\n<p>So when Izzy
  and Marcus are paired together to perform a swing dance routine for a gym
  project\, it&rsquo\;s no surprise that everything goes up in flames\, inc
 luding their grade in the class. Until their gym teacher proposes a deal: 
 if the pair performs the swing routine in the upcoming talent show\, they&
 rsquo\;ll receive extra credit and a passing grade. They accept. . . but I
 zzy has her own proposal for Marcus: this time\, she gets to be the lead.<
