Eight-year-old Mallory McDonald - not related to the restaurant McDonald's - is fed up. Her parents have decided that they're moving from their lovely home to a place that's three-hours away, where she will be all alone. Mallory doesn't want to leave her best friend behind, and she especially doesn't want to live next door to a...boy! But that's the way the cards were dealt, and now Mallory is forced to suffer the consequences of her parents ill-timed decision.
When I ws younger I adored the AMBER BROWN books, and at first sight, Laurie Friedman's MALLORY ON THE MOVE reminded me exactly of that series. Mallory is a lovable young character, whose many moods, and crazy antics will win over fans of all ages. Young/Middle readers will find it easy to relate to the cheerful eight-year-old, while parents will be grappling for the next MALLORY book. A must read.
