Dream Team
Princess Diana of Wales

"She always thinks of the world and other people in her work. I am glad to know there are still a few people left like that in the world."
Joan of Arc

Maddie tries to keep God in her work even through the hard times, just like Joan of Arc never lost her faith in God while she was fighting for her country. Joan says: "This girl is very faithful to God. It is amazing that a few people are still so devoted to their faith in this time. She is one of those people. I am very honored to be on her Dream Team.
Leonardo da Vinci

I have nearly 30 of her books, and they are all wonderful." Maddie says she chose him because he is an inventor and is so intelligent. She always wanted to be like him.
