Skinny Melon and Me

(4) 4-6 Cherry doesn't like her new stepfather, although her best friend Skinny Melon thinks he's nice. Cherry's journal entries show her adolescent angst as she struggles to accept her parents' divorce and her stepfather. Interspersed with Cherry's writings are rebus notes from her stepfather and her mother's letters to a friend. The letters feel out of place and make the mother seem too unsympathetic in this otherwise entertaining novel.
