About the Author:

Judy Delton was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and has lived there most of her life. She has published more than one hundred books for children, including the popular Pee Wee Scouts series. A master at creating short, amusing episodes, Delton writes about ordinary children in a way often compared with that of Beverly Cleary, Eleanor Estes, and Carolyn Haywood.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-6 Firm fans of Angel O'Leary will claim this latest installment in her Wisconsin childhood as the best yet; new acquaintances will delight in its unfolding of her eventful tenth summer. The main event, of course, is Mrs. O'Leary's upcoming marriage to Rudy. Angel is all anticipationit will be wonderful to have a father. Her big worry develops when, knowing that Rudy will adopt the children, she learns that this means taking his name; the unpronounceable and unspellable ``Pappadopolis'' will become hers. Rudy has the sure touch, though. He gives not just a ring to his bride, but an initialled locket to Angel and a watch to Rags. Angel now knows with certainty that she will cherish his name, no matter what: it is so good to be ``the daughter of a father'' again. Delton writes with her customary verve about ordinary events and their extraordinary twists. Her characters are sure delineations of people readers all know, or wish they knew. Children will love bouncing along with these particular characters and their friends, anticipating exciting happenings, crying and laughing over the inevitable mishappenings.
