English, Karen and Illustrated by
Freeman, Laura Nikki
& Deja: Wedding Drama (Series) 112
pgs. Clarion Books, 2012. $11.69. (Rating: G)
All the girls in
Nikki and Deja’s third grade class have wedding fever after they find
out that their teacher, Ms. Shelby, is getting married. They even form teams and make
wedding planning a competition. Deja isn’t sure she can attend the wedding
since her Aunt has been laid off from her job. But Nikki won’t stop talking
about the wedding, which causes a rift in their friendship.
I really like
this series. The plots always revolve around a realistic school environment,
but the author includes the two girl’s home lives, as well as life lessons like
friendship. They are a simple read, and very appropriate for school libraries.
I think 2-3rd graders will enjoy reading about Nikki and Deja lives.
