Emily Fisher - Word Maven introduces an engaging and imaginative child who takes it upon herself to find out as much as she can about words and how to use them. Emily's fascination with words, how they sound, and what they mean, lead to her determination to pursue a career as a "word maven," a term she has invented from listening to those around her, most notably her grandmother. Determined and focused on the task at hand, Emily embarks on her quest with sometimes humorous and always delightful results.
