Emma is horrified to learn that her mother is dating. She tells a lie hoping to keep her mother away from the new man, but slowly and realistically Emma warms up to this change. Emma is a likable heroine, and readers will find it easy to empathize with her woes. The black-and-white illustrations help break up the text in this book for older chapter book readers.
