About this book:
“Her goal is to fly to Alaska. Her family is broke. Will an opportunity to make money be the answer to her prayers—or the road to disaster?
For her mom’s birthday, Wendy finds an old jewelry box at a flea market—the perfect gift for someone who loves salvaged junk. But inside the box is a cryptic note that appears to have been written recently. Who wrote the note, and did the intended recipient ever see it?
Wendy’s curiosity leads her on a search with boyfriend David at her side and eager to help.
But Wendy needs more personal and urgent help—the financial kind—because her stepfather has lost his job. The family’s plan to visit Alaska on vacation is headed down the sewer like a hard Louisiana rain. How will Wendy ever see Mrs. V or Sam again?
When an opportunity arrives in the form of tutoring Melissa, one of the Sticks, Wendy’s money problems appear to be solved. Until the arrangement takes a turn that gets Wendy into trouble like never before.
And in the final months of ninth grade, she might lose everything she counted on for the future.”

Rating-
{Add a star
for girls in Public School}
I know it’s pretty normal for public
school girls and such, but my head is still so boggled at the idea of
fourteen-year-olds/fifteen-year-olds dating. I think it’s completely because one
of the girls I’ve babysat since she was little is now 14, so all my big
sister-ness was coming out while reading “6
Dates to Disaster”. {Which now I get the title.} ;)
I may not have liked all the kisses
between Wendy & David, but there were some sweet parts and good learning
moments at other times. I’m hoping that there will be a fourth book of Wendy’s
summer adventures. :)
See y’all on Monday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
