Mango Delight #2
Summer in the City
Get ready, world—Mango’s about to become a STAR! In this sequel to
Mango Delight
, the delightful heroine’s adventures—and misadventures—continue as she prepares to make her off-Broadway debut.
Where Mango goes, drama is sure to follow! It’s summer break, and Mango is content to spend her time babysitting her brother, hanging with her friend Izzy, and binge-watching movies late into the night. Then she runs into her drama teacher, who has some big news: their middle school play Yo, Romeo! is headed to the stage in New York City . . . and he wants Mango for the lead role! After overcoming her mom’s initial reluctance—and with some firm rules established—Mango goes off to Brooklyn to stay with her Aunt Zendaya in a teeny apartment and prepare for her theatrical debut. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, but soon Mango must confront homesickness, insecurity, and the all-important question of what it means to be a good friend—especially when you’re far away from the people you love.

July 15, 2020Exceptional! There is a lot to love about Summer in the City, starting with Mango! She has a voice that will resonate with Tweens - even those who don't dream of being the next Disney star. The ensemble around her is equally strong, and I particularly like the Fuller family dynamics, including Aunt Zendaya. Readers will relate to the ups and downs in Mango's relationship with Izzy - from BOTH sides, not just Mango's.

Mango has the opportunity to go to NYC to perform in the theater. She stays with her aunt. She struggles with home sickness, staying connected to her friends and making new friends. The book follows her ups and downs through the process. A pretty good read!

Mango is such a ‘delight’fully human character. She is so relatable and sweet! Join her for her Summer in the City!
