Becky Botsford left Planet Lexicon as an infant and arrived on Earth when her spaceship crash-landed. Her adopted parents, Jim and Sally Botsford, found her reading a newspaper on their front steps. By age 2, she was completing crossword puzzles and already knew every word in the dictionary! Able to bend steel, fly at the speed of sound, and pause clocks long enough to prolong bedtime, WordGirl is actually mild-mannered 5th grader Becky in disguise! It's her love of vocabulary that helps WordGirl save the day in her never-ending battle for truth, justice, and use of the right word. She knows that crime doesn't pay, but knowing the right word for the right moment is priceless!
