  Janete on hiatus due health issues

  I re-read it along with a Scribd audio and now it was very easy for me to do this. When I read it in the first time, it was very hard to understand the English vocabulary, even though it is a children's book. I hope I'm really improving my English.

  নতুন এলাকায় যাওয়া মানে, নতুন স্কুল; পুরাতন বন্ধু রেখে-নতুন বন্ধু খোজা । মেলোরিতো এটা চায় নি!! এজন্য সে বিরক্ত। তার বিরক্ত ভরা মনের কাহিনি এখানে লেখা হয়েছে।
  মজার বই। সাবলীল লেখনী। টিনএজার আর বুড়ো দের পছন্দ হবে বইটা 🤭

  Such a cute book!!! I love mallory and her cute personality because I can totally relate to her in this book.
  In this book mallory is going back to school. But this year, she's going to a NEW school, making NEW friends, and most important, she's taking her mom with her!!! Mallory thinks there is nothing worse than having her mom for a new music teacher! But later she thinks different. I think Laurie Friedman's writing style is made for making reading enjoyable. I'm not that big a fan of reading, unless I have an interesting book to read, and this is one of my favorites!!!!!!! this was an amazing book to read and I recommend it to most girls! :)

  I think mallory is selfish and she always wants everything kinda like..............me but the book was still good. I think that it was terrible what mallory did during the show that her mom set up and she should not be embaressed by her mom.

  Back to school Mallory is a really great book!! Mallory basically continues from where she stopped in the first book.

  I’m torn! I can’t decide if I like Mallory or thick she is a spoiled brat. Certainly not a slam dunk for greatness.

  Another enjoyable read. The character arc was very realistic and the story fun.

  Mallory starts at her new school, with her mom being a new teacher there, and faces a variety of problems. Again, the author does a great job of getting inside an 8-year-old's head. Throughout most of the book, Mallory is unhappy with various situations, but like in the other books, she learns how to deal with the issues and change her attitude, and the problems are resolved. The main lesson in this book is about giving people/situations a chance, rather than pre-judging the situation as a something that is horrible. I like also that this also deals with accepting the changes in her life as she lets go of some of the past, and doing what you have to do, even if you don't like it. As in the other books, the heart-warming resolution and lessons learned all happen rather quickly in the last couple chapters. I appreciated that, in the end, she and her parents talked openly about her frustrations and feelings, and that's a reminder to me to listen and dig deeper into what my kids are thinking and feeling when they are acting out with bad attitudes or behavior. Maybe if these issues were talked about earlier, it could have prevented some of the bitterness.

  Summer is over and that can only mean one thing for eight-year-old Mallory McDonald (like the restaurant, but no relation)--she has to go back to school. But not just any school, a new school with all new kids in it. To make matters worse, her mom is going, too! She's the new music teacher, and Mallory can't think of anything that could possibly be worse--until her first day. She has to sit with Pamela, who always says the right thing and steals her ideas. Joey is so busy with his old friends that he has no time for her, and to top it off, she's picked to be an eggplant in the Fall Festival her mom is putting on. It's not fair! What can Mallory do? Should she give Pamela, and her new school, another chance?

  This book was amazing, it's about girl who moves to a new place and a new school. At first she doesn't like it at all the since her mom is the new music teacher and her best friend Mary Ann get the teacher that they had both dreamed of since kindergarten. Then she is incredibly upset cuz there is a play called the Fall Festival, she doesn't get the part she wants. She gets a eggplant. Then she has the invite her best friend to come and she doesn't want to. When it is her part she pretenses to break a leg since brother said to in show talk!

  Lingkungan baru bagi beberapa anak memang sulit untuk beadaptasi , salah satunya Mallory
  
  Ceritanya sendiri setelah "Mallory On The Move" , setelah musim liburan berakhir , Mallory gugup dengan keadaan ibunya jadi guru musik di sekolahnya sendiri , temen temen baru , dan juga hari pertama yang bisa dibilang "kacau" sekali . Terus , konflik sama temannya , Drama musikal ibunya dan juga tidak ketinggalan selalu ada "Mary Ann" setiap Mallory mau curhat
  
  Walau terbita lama , tapi menghibur kok . Ilustrasinya juga menarik , dan terkesan tidak membosankan .

  Buku paling disuka (antara jaman SD atau SMP, lupa lagi). Karakternya digambar dan sesuai buat umur aku di jaman SD. Buku ini punya makna moral tersendiri, cara bagaimana berkomunikasi yang baik kepada orang tua, menghormati orang yang lebih dewasa, dan juga cara bagaimana agar kita percaya pada diri sendiri. Buat aku ini memorable dan buku yang menurutku baik untuk di share ke anak-anak.

  Fun book! I didn't know it was a series when I started reading this with my third grader. She loved it. Great storytelling, entertaining read and fun characters. I love that it teaches live skills without preaching.
