(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ji-Hyuk Kim. Sisters Marigold, Zinnia, and Lily (The Forget-Me-Not Summer) head to Cape Cod again to stay with their aunt. After being cut from a Hollywood blockbuster, Marigold has vowed to become ordinary; aspiring writer Zinnie, in need of material, reads Marigold's diary and writes about the transformation. The ensuing fight threatens to ruin their idyllic summer. An easy recommendation for fans of family stories.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ji-Hyuk Kim. Californian sisters Marigold (twelve), Zinnia (eleven), and Lily (five) spend three weeks on Cape Cod with their great-aunt while their parents travel for work. They worry that a summer with no TV or cell signal will be awful but instead find their own fun, grow closer, and each discover who they are. A sunny choice for fans of The Penderwicks and other family stories.
