Synopsis

Mallory has just had the worst Halloween ever, and she's determined to make the next holiday better. She decides the best way to make Thanksgiving a success is to do something that makes other people happy, not just herself. So she starts a food drive at school. The plan is to make sure families in need get a tasty Thanksgiving meal. And Mallory has an idea to get all of her classmates involved: the grade that brings in the most cans will get a week without homework! But when things start to go wrong, will Mallory's plan for a happy Thanksgiving be ruined?

Review:

"Mallory accepts two invitations for Halloween and ends up missing most of the trick-or-treating and all of the pizza. Determined to make her Thanksgiving better, she spearheads a food drive at school. Despite logistical problems and emotional turmoil along the way, the project succeeds. Since Mallory arrived on the scene, in Mallory on the Move (2008), this chapter-book series has developed a steady readership for its personal narratives in which a likable Everygirl navigates her third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade years. The twenty-eighth volume ends with Mallory's remarks on "a sign of maturity" and the author's thanks as the series reaches its satisfying conclusion."―Booklist Online
