  In this book Mallory's parents decide to move to a town 2 hours away from her best friend. Mallory is postive she won't like that new town but...her parents are convinced she will like it, she just has to give it a try.
  So I think the message that the author is trying to get across your mind is always have an open mind 'cause you never know, you might like something.

  I am thoroughly convinced that the Mallory in this book is basically the same Mallory in the book

  When I first read this book, I was nine and my mother had just come back from the library, bearing a bag full of goodies that she knew I'd love. The world was a much simpler place then. Life was good. Reading this brings me back to happier times.
  (Also, I was just plain surprised to find out that the series has not ended yet??? like...wow)

  This book is really interesting it has many unusual things like a wishing pond were your wishes actually come true! And loads more in this book Mallory was told by her parents that they are moving she gets upset and thinks about her best friend Mary Ann Mallory convinces her parents not to move into a different neighborhood but it was no good soon they moved into wish pond road and Mallory finds some interesting people and places! I recommend this book to ages 8-11

  This book was great for me, learning Spanish. I also enjoyed the story. Mallory's family is moving, and she'll have to leave her best friend, who has been her next door neighbor forever. They promise never to make friends with the new next door neighbors. But this proves to be a hard promise to keep, when Mallory meets the boy who lives next door who is fun to hang out with and shares her love of jokes. Her troubles are very relatable.

  Great book about moving and all the hardships that go along with that for kids. Mallory is miserable that she has to move and leave her best friend, and they pinky promise to never be friends with boys who live next door. Of course, a boy lives next door to Mallory in their new town, and they become friends. Lots of great, relatable issues in this book that would work great for 2nd or 3rd grade.

  Moving is hard. I love books that kids can totally relate to. I will certainly read more Mallory. Wonderful read for a second grader. The Mallory books are 2.0 AR points. Great short audios. Your kid could finish them on a couple trips to and from town. Listening to this book in the car 🚗 together is great because it gives you several great family talking points.

  Miss 6 thought it was okay. She listened to the whole audiobook but it didn't interest her enough to try more of the series.
  
  Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

  My 7 year old daughter came home from school and excitingly exclaimed that she finished her chapter book at school. She said she loves this book and has already starting reading another one. She earned a 100% on the AR test too.
  
  She is currently reading Oh Boy Mallory.

  A have an awesome granddaughter named Mallory. I thought it was going to be a really cute read.
  True it is cute but I got annoyed with the narrator’s voice. So it was a disappointing audio performance for me. I sure the age appropriate audience will love it.

  This is the first in a cute little transitional series, similar to the Clementine or Ramona books. A step up from Owl Diaries or Magic Treehouse. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline was fun, if predictable.

  This was good. I'm glad that she is finding friends at her new home and that her best best best friend is ok with it. It is hard to fit in when you are somewhere new, but if you just be yourself it will all work out.
