Mary Margaret Miller is going to be a junior bridesmaid - that is, if she isn't grounded for the rest of her life. She's feuding with school bully Brent Helzinski, and her cousin Eden, aka The Bride, is clashing with her mother about wedding plans. Mary knows it's her job as a junior bridesmaid to make the day run smoothly, but she sure could use a little help from above.

"Hand this to tween readers who crave sweet and innocent realistic tales." --School Library Journal

"Wedding-prep comedy balances serious questions of morality in this sweetly perceptive book." --Kirkus

 

 

"Is there a Patron Saint for smart, funny, touching narrators? If there is, this book's narrator- Mary Margaret Miller - must have a direct line. Mary is a first-class storyteller with a wonderful eye for detail, a wicked sense of humor, and a tender and searching heart. I love her, and I love this book." --Sheila Turnage, author of Three Times Lucky

 

 

"Is there a Patron Saint for reading? I hope so because this book is SWEET, FUNNY AND CHOCK FULL OF GOODNESS." --Lisa Greenwald, author of My Life in Pink and Green

 

 

"Mary's take on the stressful situations and dynamic cast of characters makes for an energetic, absorbing read as she sorts through her religious and social conflicts. . . . Readers looking for a lighthearted summer read about faith, family, and figuring out who you are in the midst of a lot of noise will enjoy this." --The Bulletin
