Summary

Join twins Mia and Maddie and their sidekick little sister, Lulu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and sometimes mischief along the way. Together with their famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny Miss Julia, the sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more.

In this fourth book in the Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls series, the Glimmer family is headed to the Big Apple--New York City! Gloria has been asked to perform a concert in Times Square and the whole family joins her. Miss Julia immediately starts planning a sightseeing trip for the sisters that will be better than all the rest, but plans never turn out exactly as they imagine when the Glimmer girls are involved. So what happens when sibling rivalry, random acts of kindness, and a little mystery all meet up at some of the most famous sights in New York City?

School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-6-Ten-year-old twins Mia and Maddie and their little sister, Lulu, head to the big city to support their mom, who is performing there. In tow is their zany nanny, Miss Julia, who promises lots of sightseeing and fun to be had by all. During their trip, the girls are confronted by some sad realities of the world. They also learn about the rich history of New York City and all it has to offer. Though this is a mostly light and fluffy tale, Grant conveys some important life lessons. The girls struggle with jealousy and the temptation to break the rules. As the mystery unravels, readers are compelled to ask what is truly right and wrong and how sometimes those lines can become blurred. Readers will find themselves thinking about difficult decisions and how choices they make can affect themselves and others. VERDICT Fans of the series will be happy to have this next installment. Overall, tweens will enjoy the adventures of these spirited sisters.-Bernice La Porta, Susan E. Wagner High School, Staten Island, NY © Copyright 2016.
