The last place Andy Shane wants to spend Halloween is at Dolores Starbuckle's birthday party, but because his grandmother volunteered to help out, he has to go. Short chapters, comic moments, and real-kid characters and situations add up to a perfect book for beginning readers.
Lark Alice Bell is the new girl in school and Andy Shane is writing her initials – LAB – in his notebook! His best friend, Dolores, is suspicious, but things are not what they seem in the fourth book in the engaging series. The added appeal of a new puppy will especially thrill fans of Andy and Dolores, as well as newcomers to these endearing stories.
Why would Andy Shane want to go to school? All Dolores Starbuckle ever does is tattle on him, correct him, or attempt to outshine him in every area. With Granny's help, Andy figures out how to stand up to Dolores in a way that empowers him and transforms her. With insight and humor, a common childhood struggle is presented in a fresh, endearing story with a character that young readers will easily champion.
