Cody is so excited for summer vacation. It's going to be great! Nothing to do but hang out with her older brother, who only pretends to be annoyed by her. Things are a little different this summer though. Mom is up for a promotion at work, which leaves her with a case of the whim-whams at times. Her brother is moping over a girl, which Cody doesn't entirely understand. And she has a new friend who she has convinced that she has hypnotized his cat. This story is adorable and great for those ready to move on from a story like Magic Tree House but aren't ready for something too hard yet.

Solid and sweet chapter book featuring a diverse, multicultural neighborhood and family. The plot is simple and not terribly eventful but the characters are recognizable realistic and well-formed. Possibly a good good for readers transitioning into middle grade fiction.

I received an advance reader’s copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
What a lovely book! This story perfectly blends real life problems and joys, showing both the good and not-so-good aspects of life, and how both are normal and acceptable. Cody seemed a little annoying at first, but I quickly grew attached to her optimism and her family. The author has definitely done a great job of capturing the spirit of a girl of Cody’s age. This book is aimed at younger audiences, but I think anyone (me included) can find something to love in Cody’s perspective and summer adventures.
