(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kerascoët. In 1991 New Jersey, likable twelve-year-old Jacky faces a summer of babysitting her younger sisters and working at the balloon race boardwalk game. When she's cast in the summer production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, both her friendships and sibling relationships become complicated. Like the first volume, this story narrated by adult Jacky has an abundance of humor and a satisfying ending.
