- This fifth-grader is not too fond of her new step-grandmother—&“an affecting funny story&” (Publishers Weekly). When summer comes, Emily is looking forward to spending more time with Grandfather. Ever since Grandma Ellen&’s death, Emily has felt especially close to him. He&’s never too busy to listen to her, and he always understands her feelings. But Emily&’s summer is unexpectedly ruined when Grandfather returns from a vacation with a new wife. Her name is Marjorie, and Emily hates her. There&’s no way Marjorie can replace Grandma Ellen, and she&’s certain to destroy Grandfather&’s happiness. So Emily decides to get rid of her. The jealousy and problems caused by Marjorie&’s arrival are refreshingly handled in the first novel by Betty Ren Wright.
