Happily Ever Emma

by Sally Warner, Jamie Harper (Illustrator)

Overview

Emma is already upset when her mother cancels their traditional Friday night dinner-and-ice-cream plans, but it's even worse when she finds out why: Her mom has a date! Emma's best friend, Annie Pat, thinks it's so romantic, but Emma knows better. Fortunately, she has a plan to keep her mom all to herself. But when Emma's plan backfires, she starts to realize that maybe sharing her mother with other people has its advantages.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 2–4—In this installment, Emma must share her mother's attention with a new boyfriend. When she tries to wreck a date with a teensy lie (truth omission, really), she learns a difficult life lesson about feelings of guilt in a gentle and funny way. This easy-to-read chapter book is appealing and realistic, and fetching illustrations support the text. Emma's fans will be pleased.—Terry Ann Lawler, Phoenix Public Library, AZ
