With a baby sister on the way for Millicent Min, dare we hope for another sequel?- Tina Zubak, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PAĬopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Although this book stands on its own, kids will get more pleasure if they read the other two first. It's a good message for preteens, as is Emily's insistence on treating others with kindness. In the end, Emily patches things up with her mom and realizes that some changes can be good, even though they may not work out as expected.

As in Millicent Min, Girl Genius (2003) and Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time (2005, both Scholastic), family is vitally important. When she finds out that her new friends have misled her about the situation, her disappointment is palpable. Emily meets Stanford and assumes that he is tutoring Millie. The rapport between the girls is delightful, as Millie shares her idiosyncratic take on her hometown. Emily befriends Millicent at a girls' summer volleyball league where they're the worst players. She writes down her thoughts and feelings in a journal for her dad, who is on the road with a revival tour of his old rock band and has sent the 12-year-old a credit card for her birthday. She directs a lot of anger and unhappiness against her mom, who is also reeling from the change. She's just moved to Rancho Rosetta, CA, from New Jersey after her parents' divorce. Emily, who is effervescent and enthusiastic, has her own story to tell.

Grade 5–7-It's Emily Ebers's turn to tell about the summer she meets Millicent Min and Stanford Wong, each of whom has charmed readers in earlier books.
