Mallory on the Move by Laurie B. Friedman, illustrated by Tamara Schmitz
Mallory on the Move is the story of 8-year old Mallory who is struggling with her families move to a town three hours away from her best friend. Mallory copes with an obnoxious older brother, the snobby girl who lives next door, and being true to her old best friend.
Mallory quickly becomes friends with the 8-year old boy who lives next door (after promising her best friend that neither would become friends with boys). The two 8-year olds share stupid jokes and learn to team up against their older siblings.
This is a fun and fast-paced book that I think will appeal to both boys and girls, especially anyone who has had to move before.
Tamara Schmitz's cartoon-style drawings are a nice touch. This book is a good one for younger readers (ages 7-10) who are a little bit past beginning chapter books, but aren't quite ready for the harder chapter books.
Keywords: Moving, Sibling Rivalry, Friendship, Wishes
