Editorial Reviews

Gr 2–4—While on a field trip to Washington, DC, Mallory and her fourth-grade classmates are required to keep a journal. Mallory records a "list of interesting things" that she has seen, but also explains what is happening, or not happening, with her best friend. Mary Ann is supposed to be her partner, but they aren't spending much time together, which causes Mallory to question their relationship and become separated from her class at a museum. She juggles the new situation of a friend interested in boys with trying to display "exemplary" behavior and keeping tabs on her loose tooth. The story abounds with facts about the places the children visit, such as the Washington Monument and National Zoo. Mallory's journal entries include pencil drawings that complement the tale. Readers will relate to the child and enjoy the format of this latest entry in the chapter-book series.—Bethany A. Lafferty, Henderson District Public Library, NV
