At my school, being thick is unacceptable. Being thick-and Mexican is even more unacceptable. And to top it off, I'm one of the daughters of the man that most people dislike in this town. Hi. I'm Maya Mars. Keith and Lianne Mars' daughter. Younger of their two by two months. Welcome to my crazy life. ~~~~~~~~ Maya Mars was dropped off at the Mars' household front door when she was a week old. The family left a note saying they couldn't take care of her and that they knew she would be well looked after since he was sheriff. Lianne had just given birth to Veronica two months prior. After Keith brought Maya in and they went through all the legalities, Keith and Lianne decided to foster her until they found a good home for her. But after awhile, they got attached to her and decided to adopt her. To this day, Maya has no care to find out who her parents are. Now she just tries to get through life in high school, which is evidently a huge struggle for her. Read to find out how she navigates things with her quick wit and heart of gold.
