Heart to Heart With Mallory (Mallory McDonald, #6) Reviews
-
Mallory gets a journal from her grandma - even though she doesn't think she needs one. She tells all her secrets to best friend, Mary Ann. But her grandmother tells her "there might be some things she can't tell Mary Ann." What does Grandma know? Mallory soon finds out. The mother of her best friend, Mary Ann, has fallen in love with the father of her other best friend, Joey. Mallory immediately begins to feel like she's going to be forgotten. What should she do? Should she talk to Mary Ann? She tries, but the line is always busy. Should she try to dissuade the lovebirds? She writes poems to this end, but her Mom and Dad find them. Ooops! Finally, she just has to ride out the storm and hope for the best.
Through journal entries, Mallory pours out her heart. Students will relate to her turmoil. But what I like best about the book is the friends finally have a "heart to heart" and work everything out. They talk about their fears and their mixed feelings and are honest with one another. This is a good addition to the library for 3rd and 4th grade. -
This is one of the cutest kid’s books I’ve read in a bit.
I think this is a fantastic book to give to a kid if they’re experiencing marriage or unification of different families in their social circles!
The biggest point to keep in mind is to look at this book from the point of view of a kid. As an adult reading this, I got annoyed with the main character - that was until I remembered the target audience for the book.
Highly recommend putting this in elementary classrooms and giving this to some older elementary kids! -
when mallory doesn't want joey's dad and mary ann's mom to marry she trys to find a way to stop them from marrying.

The nine-year-old I work with was absolutely OBSESSED with the drama in this book! It’s one of the few books she’s been fully invested in and has shown zero resistance to reading. She loved trying to guess who Mallory’s secret admirer was and whether or not Frank and Colleen would get married. It was a lot of fun reading this book with my babysittee and I feel it provides several opportunities to discuss empathy and blended families.

Heart to Heart With Mallory by Laurie Friedman, is mostly about a main character named Mallory in the second grade. Mallory has a best friend named Mary Ann, witch she thinks she can share all of her secrets to. Mallory gets a phone call from her grandma saying she has something on the way for Mallory. When the little package came, Mallory opened it and saw what was inside. It was a diary! Right after she opened it, she called her grandma and explained, " Why a diary when I have Mary Ann? She is the one I trust and I can tell ALL of my secrets to!" Her grandma replied, " Well, it's not all of the time that you can tell your secrets to Mary Ann." " But I always do grandma." "Just wait and see." And that is exactly what Mallory did, until one day she found out a couple of secrets that she can't tell to Mary Ann, so she took out her diary and started writing. From this point on, I did not like this book because ever single page was a diary entry! That is the reason I gave this book a one star rating. And after a while reading, dear diary..... Bla bla bla...... Love Mallory, gets old and boring!!!!!!!! I love this series of books, but just not this particular one. Just like Mallory says,
love,

This was alright. A diary by a girl named Mallory given to her by her grandmother. Mallory doesn't think that she needs a diary because she tells everything to her best friend, but she decides to give it a shot anyway. Turns out that there are things that she can only tell her diary. Secrets. Her biggest problem is that her two best friends' parents are dating and Mallory is terrified that they will marry and everything will change for her. So she plots in her diary to make sure that it does not happen.
The drawings were pretty cute, but I really don't have too much else good to say about it. Mallory is completely self-centered. Completely. Yes, most children are. But this is beyond normal and obnoxious. I didn't really like it much. -
Heart to Heart is yet another good middle-school book, but I rated it low due to my own personal rating.
But I did love Mallory and how cute and girly her personality was. And the family problems that erupt around her are genuine without a touch of random vampires and werewolves jumping in. Also, I think the author did a fantastic book on making this readable for an young audience by using words that weren’t difficult.
Mallory’s thoughts are understandable and fresh. But I found myself bored among the book because the plot-twists were predictable for me –however, I have full reason to believe the plot-twists would’ve been hooking if I was 8-9 years old.
Overall, a wonderful book for girls in a particular age-group. -
I read this book with my 5 year old and 7 yr old daughters for a few nights before bedtime. My 7 yr old really enjoyed the book and each night, she wanted to hear what happened next. For my 5 yr old, it was a little above her head.
The entire book is written through "Dear Diary" entries and comes from the perspective of a girl named Mallory and details her reaction to a few changes in the lives of her best friends. -
Very romantic and also is in a diary form!
-
