The Cupid Chronicles (Wedding Planner's Daughter Series #2)

by Coleen Murtagh Paratore

Overview

When the only library in Bramble, Cape Cod, announces it's in danger of closing its doors, the town residents have got to raise BIG money and FAST. Thirteen-year-old Willa Havisham must put her crush on Joey Kennelly on the back burner to save the library, but the question is: How?

Willa's best friend, Tina, is positive that her compatibility test, expertly designed to match up every girl in school with her "perfect match," will raise the money and get everyone paired up for the Midwinter Night's Ball. Willa, an old-fashioned romantic, is not so sure. But with a little help from Shakespeare, a Southern beauty queen, and Cupid himself, romance is striking all over Bramble.

Editorial Reviews

After playing cupid to both her mother and her grandmother in The Wedding Planner's Daughter (2005), 13-year-old Willa Havisham just might find herself in love this time-but only if she can save the town library, keep Ruby from stealing Joey away and survive her mother's eccentric guests. When the town council threatens to close the Bramble library, Willa takes it upon herself to save the day. Along the way, she reignites an old love, entertains some odd guests at the inn and tries to find out whether science or Cupid is the way to a guy's heart. Even with all of the new adventures, some things never change as she butts heads with her mother. Luckily, Sam's presence in the family helps smooth the way. Willa's spirit keeps it fun, but it's her smarts that make her memorable. Complete with a suggested reading list, this sequel will not disappoint readers anxious for another dance with Willa and her friends. (Fiction. 10-14)
