Step Fourth Mallory

Mallory was looking forward to 4th grade, in fact, she thought it was going to be the best year ever. But now that 4th grade has started it shaping up to be the worst year ever. Mallory keeps breaking the rules, even though she doesn't mean to and everything she does to try to get on her teacher's good side seems to backfire..

Step Fourth Mallory was an alright, I suspect I would have liked it more if I were a girl in 4th grade. Mallory spends a lot time worrying about boys and fashion in a typically gushy 4th grade girl fashion. However, the book is tenderhearted and Mallory's character is ultimately endearing. Recommended for girls who enjoy realistic fiction in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade.
