From Kirkus Reviews:
Not only does Chelsea color her face with what turns out to be an indelible magic marker for a St. Patrick's Day leprechaun contest (winning a prize but, disappointingly, no glory from her third-grade classmates)--but she's also feeling green with envy over best-friend Mary Lynne's friendship with new classmate Abigail. Predictably, the girls make it a threesome by book's end; meanwhile, much of the action is almost too ordinary to be interesting. Still, there are several good scenes (a goldfish buried ``at sea'' [down the toilet], with the girls debating an appropriate epitaph; Chelsea ``rescuing'' Abbie by helping her wash peanut butter from her baby brother under umbrellas in the shower); and the dialogue, the embarrassment Chelsea brings on herself, and her clumsy efforts to get along with the other kids all ring true. Only the occasional b&w drawings reveal that Mary Lynne is African-American. A likable sequel to Speak Up, Chelsea Martin! (1991). (Fiction. 7-9) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-4-- It's bad enough that the magic marker Chelsea uses on her face and hands for a Leprechaun contest doesn't quite wash off, leaving her skin a little green. S he's also green (with envy) when it seems as if the new third grader, Abigail, is trying to steal best friend Mary Lynne. All of her efforts to win Mary Lynne back only result in trouble. In the end, however, she learns that Abigail isn't so bad, and that three can be good friends, too. This sequel to Speak Up, Chelsea Martin! (Albert Whitman, 1991) is a pleasant, lively read. Chelsea is a likable character, and her predicament is authentic and universal. The other characters are realistic and sympathetic. Poydar's black-and-white illustrations round out the story. --Donna L. Scanlon, Lancaster County Library, PA
