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.
