Synopsis

Everything in Mallory McDonald's life is changing! Fourth grade is over and summer is off to a shaky start. The Winstons are moving from Wish Pond Road to a bigger house across town, so Mallory's best friends, Mary Ann and Joey, won't be living next door anymore. And her friend Chloe Jennifer will be gone for the whole summer. On top of all this, Mallory's cat, Cheeseburger, suddenly gets sick!

How will Mallory deal with all these changes? Will the vet help Cheeseburger get well? And will Mallory find new ways to have fun this summer?

About this title

About the Author:

Laurie Friedman is the author of the popular Mallory series, The Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair series, and many award-winning picture books. She lives in Florida.

Review:

"Ten-year-old Mallory normally enjoys summer, but with her three best friends either moving across town (Mary Ann and Joey) or leaving for the summer (Chloe Jennifer), she dreads the lonely months ahead. When her beloved cat becomes ill, her perspective shifts. Mallory finds support in some unexpected places and some practical advice that serves her well. Friedman uses a confluence of realistic events to nudge Mallory outside her comfort zone, and the result is a stronger story than most in the series. The first-person narrative ends with a reference to starting fifth grade, and surely Kalis' happy illustrations will be in attendance, too."―Booklist
