Bold Nia Marie Passes the Test features a young girl's story about trying to pass a big test at school. In preparing for the "big test," a narrative with which many students are familiar, Nia Marie has one plan to take the easy way and has to work hard to succeed when that plan is foiled. The book helps students who may not think they have a chance to prepare and to execute a plan. It is also about who (teachers, parents), can help build that confidence and how to do so.
