A NOTE FROM MALLORY MCDONALD:

Welcome to my official guide to boys, brothers, dads, and dogs. Hopefully, it is not the only guide available because THESE ARE FOUR VERY COMPLICATED TOPICS! But lately, I have learned a lot about all of them. So if you want to know what I know, just open up this book and start reading.

But Mallory’s best friend, Mary Ann, has her own ideas about what a super sleepover party should include. Before Mallory can put a stop to things, uninvited guests show up, a water balloon fight gets out of hand, and a good friend has her feelings hurt. How did a super sleepover turn into such a super mess?

Mallory has a new diary, and big news to write in it: a cute fifth-grade boy LIKES her! The only problem: Mallory''s friends are more excited about it than she is.

But when Mallory follows Mary Ann''s advice, she winds up hurting another friend—and gets in BIG trouble. Can Mallory make things right and learn to follow her own heart?

Mallory is excited about the six-week arts electives program at Fern Falls Elementary—until she gets stuck in her last-choice class, band. To make matters worse, she is assigned to the tuba, and when she plays, it sounds more like passing gas than music. She dreads the showcase at the end of the program. But with some good guidance from her mom and her band teacher, Mallory learns the meaning of "practice makes perfect" and that, in fact, making music can be lots of fun!

Some simple math: one + one + one = one too many! From the day they were born, Mary Ann and Mallory have been best friends. They''ve always been a two-some.

It''s summertime and the Wish Pond Road gang is getting ready to go to Camp Blue Lake. Mallory''s not so sure she wants to go. What if she gets homesick or none of the other kids like her?
