From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-- Collette Murphy, star of Fourth Grade Is a Jinx (Scholastic, 1989) is now in fifth grade and facing her first boy-girl party. Her wealthy friend Marsha's family traditionally has a special celebration for eleventh birthdays, and Marsha is planning a skating party with boys. Collette is sure that the party will be a total disaster, especially with snobbish cousin Carole advising Marsha on how to present a real teenage appearance. Adult characters are weak, especially Marsha's flighty mother, but there is a good feeling for the ambiguity of middle-grade social relationships. Collette's self-doubts and Marsha's somewhat frantic excesses provide a humorous contrast that will strike a realistic chord among young readers. --Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL
