Second-Chance Summer

The fourth book in the well-reviewed fiction series that began with Turkey Monster Thanksgiving. Nine-year-old Katie plans a backyard talent show unaware that her dog will forget her amazing trick; that her friend Sierra will be immobilized by stage fright; and that pesky Claire will uncover Alex's terrible secret. Katie's relationship with her absent mother improves immensely in this humorous story of summer vacation, pets, friends, and problems of modern-day, blended families.
