Cody's Secret Admirer

77 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-670-87400-0
(4) K-3 A Valentine from "a secret admirer" and a surprise from India--which Cody (incorrectly) thinks is a girl whom he's supposed to marry--have Cody pretty worried. While Duffy's prose maintains a light, effortless pace, the plot relies on a series of far-fetched coincidences that ultimately render Cody naive and gullible--unlike the quick-witted, sensible Cody of earlier books. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.
