Emma Emmets, Playground Matchmaker

228 pp. | Penguin/Razorbill | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59514-661-8 $12.99
(4) 4-6 Fourth grader Emma begins a matchmaking service at school, figuring her popularity will skyrocket thanks to a playground wedding and interest from the most popular girl in class. Given the characters' ages, the romance aspect is awkward--something Emma eventually realizes--and the dialogue is forced and conscientiously trendy. Compatibility quizzes are sprinkled throughout the text.
