Reviews

[Lisa the Librarian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple story about a boy trying to find a boyfriend for his widowed mother.

It is very dated in reference to the popular singers.

The boy is sweet and the family is strong and supportive of each other. There is not the sarcasm and put-downs you see more in recently in media aimed at children. Refreshing

[Elizabeth Ricks · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is definitely dated. I read it because it has been on my shelf for decades and also because it was written by a local author.

Dale is a seventh grader who has a lot of adventures (misadventures?) trying to find a new husband for his widowed mother.
Another hit by Ivy Ruckman.
