happily ever emma
Written by Sally Warner, illustrated by Jamie Harper Published by Penguin Random House
Emma is already upset when her mother cancels their traditional Friday night dinner-and-ice-cream plans, but it's even worse when she finds out why: Her mom has a date! Emma's best friend, Annie Pat, thinks it's so romantic, but Emma knows better. Fortunately, she has a plan to keep her mom all to herself. But when Emma's plan backfires, she starts to realize that maybe sharing her mother with other people has its advantages.

PRAISE
“This easy-to-read chapter book is appealing and realistic, and fetching illustrations support the text. Emma's fans will be pleased.”
— School Library Journal
“Harper’s charming illustrations—varied in size but almost always featuring Emma—keep the story light as the adults figure out how to “handle things.” As Emma says, “That’s how grown-ups put it, like there’s a handle on top of every problem.”
— Booklist
