Emma is already upset when her mother cancels their traditional Friday night dinner-and-ice-cream plans, but it's even worse when she finds out why: Her mom has a date! Emma's best friend, Annie Pat, thinks it's so romantic, but Emma knows better. Fortunately, she has a plan to keep her mom all to herself. But when Emma's plan backfires, she starts to realize that maybe sharing her mother with other people has its advantages.

Sally Warner (www.sallywarner.com) has published more than twenty novels for young readers, including the Emma and EllRay Jakes series. She lives in Altadena, California with her husband and their not-so-miniature dachshund, Rocky.
The sixth in Warner’s series finds third-grader Emma focused on a problem at home. She is disappointed to find out that her mother, divorced for two years, needs adult company and has been dating someone for months. Emma tries clumsily to make the relationship go away, and Warner realistically depicts a child’s confusing feelings in this situation as well as a single mother’s anger over bad behavior. Harper’s charming illustrations—varied in size but almost always featuring Emma—keep the story light as the adults figure out how to “handle things.” As Emma says, “That’s how grown-ups put it, like there’s a handle on top of every problem.” Grades 2-4. --Abby Nolan
