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.
