A wedding through a younger sister’s eyes

Barbara’s older sister is getting married, and the preparations give Barbara a close-up view of how excitement can mix with disagreements and practical decisions. As she imagines her own future as a bride, she also watches her fun-loving sister take on a more grown-up role. The wedding becomes a way for Barbara to think about love and commitment—and whether growing up means rushing toward either one.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers ages 9–12 interested in family stories and romance.

Book overview

A fresh as a daisy coming-of-age story for the pre-teen set, one of Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary's beloved classics.

Barbara can hardly believe her older sister is getting married. With all the excitement of wedding plans going on, Barbara can't help dreaming of the day she will be the bride. She can't wait to fall in love.

But as the big day gets closer, wedding planning often turns into family arguments. Even the bride and groom are bickering over details, and Barbara's fun-loving sister is turning into a very practical, grown-up person.

Weddings are fun, but all this serious stuff is scary enough to make Barbara think she's not going to be rushing into a serious romance any time soon.
