By the author of The Secret Life of Amanda K Woods and The Stories Julian Tells
In six spirited stories, Gloria has a confrontation with a loquacious parrot; helps Julian and Huey train their dog and cure him of his squirrel obsession; faces her fear of fractions; and learns that some promises shouldnt be kept, some bets arent fair, and, most important, you cant put a measuring stick to friendship. Ann Cameron's stories about brothers Huey and Julian have captured the hearts of millions of readers, and Julian's best friend, Gloria, has joined them on every adventure. Now Gloria gets to have her own adventures, with Julian and Huey along for the ride! Presenting truly lovable characters engaged in situations that are immediate and fresh, these stories are perfect for reading aloud or alone.

Ann Cameron is the author of many books for children, including The Secret Life of Amanda K. Woods (a National Book Award Finalist) and four other books about Gloria, Julian, and Huey that have sold over half a million copies. She lives in Guatemala, Central America.
Lis Toft lives in England on the Isle of Wight.
These easy-to-digest vignettes narrated by the affable and resourceful friend of Huey and Julian Bates (who each star in their own series of books) go down like comfort food. The volume offers swift, palpable solutions to a girl's everyday problems. Six self-contained chapters show how Gloria deals with frustrations over friends, school and her career-oriented parents. Toft's engaging chapter openers and full-page drawings cover the range of Gloria's many moods and her winning personality. While the book remains focused on the under-10 crowdAand the author captures the cadences of their conversation perfectlyAadults play an important role, too. The parents step in, without seeming intrusive, like guardian angels to smooth out life's little wrinkles. When an agitated parrot ruins the valentine Gloria made for her mother, for instance, patient Mr. Bates plants just enough ideas to help her start a new one. In answer to another, more serious matter, Gloria's mother offers sage advice when Gloria fears that Julian likes their new neighbor better than her. Cameron (The Secret Life of Amanda K. Woods) conveys the benefits of effort and high self-esteem while stressing the importance of mothers and fathers taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in their children's lives. Ages 6-9. (Mar.)
