School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5-Emma has made a list of activities she wants to do with her two favorite twin cousins, Sofia and Zoe, during her family's annual summer trip. She worries that a week won't be long enough for enjoying the usual family barbecue, swimming in the warm waters of the Chesapeake Bay, lighting sparklers, having beach bonfires, knitting with grandma, and the rest of the plans on her list. Emma soon hears a surprising announcement-she and her parents will be relocating and moving into her grandmother's home and sharing the home with Sofia and Zoe's family. Emma realizes that as much as she loves her extended family, she'll be leaving her familiar home in Seattle and will miss her friends. Emma and her cousins have always been close, but she finds that they don't have as much in common as she thought, and she wonders how she'll fit in. This title will appeal to those grappling with recent moves and may provide insight into what the new kid at school might feel like. VERDICT A satisfying realistic contemporary story of family and friendship. An additional purchase for large collections.-Helen Foster James, University of California at San Diego © Copyright 2017.
