Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4
Mallory is back, and her best friends are about to become related. She is concerned that once Joey's dad marries Mary Ann's mom, they'll be a family and she'll be left out. Her fear seems to be coming true when the three families go on a cruise, where the wedding is to take place, and Joey and Mary Ann make family T-shirts that she isn't a part of and drag her around looking for wedding presents for their parents. Readers will enjoy the details of the cruise and the fancy wedding arrangements on board. The book is well designed, and the frequent black-and-white illustrations enhance this easy chapter book. There is bonus end matter, featuring Mallory's spring break report and a special illustrated scrapbook. Her voice, which is sometimes humorous and sometimes full of self-pity, sounds authentic, and readers are sure to appreciate the happy ending.
