Since as long as she can remember, Mallory has always wanted to be an author. Finding inspiration from successful children’s authors such as Amelia Moody, Mallory in confident that writing is her passion. So, when Mallory and her classmates are asked to write a research report about their dream career, Mal knows exactly what she will do. As she begins working on her report, Mallory notices that one of her favorite authors, Henrietta Hayes, lives in Stoneybrook! In fact, Ms. Hayes lives on the same street Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan live on. With much persistence, Mallory is finally able to talk with Ms. Hayes and is even able to land a job with her. Using Henrietta in her report for school, Mallory is sure that her report will be a huge success. But when some questionable information comes out about Ms. Hayes’ past, Mallory begins to wonder if her ideal role model is a fraud. I really, really liked this book! It was fun, engaging, informative, and overall, very enjoyable to read. As usual, Ann M. Martin allows the reader to learn many good life lessons. In the story, the reader can see that Mallory kind of has tunnel vision. She is so convinced that everything has to go this exact way that she often forgets that there are more ways to do things. I really appreciated the reminder that everyone has different ways of doing things. I suggest this book is you like babysitting, authors, books, and friendship. Happy reading!
