About this book
Sixth-grader Brenda Berman is sure she knows everything about weddings—so when a family celebration is announced, she dives in as a self-appointed "wedding expert." With big plans, bigger opinions, and a best friend by her side, Brenda tries to juggle flowers, dresses, and complicated feelings about changing families. As her checklists grow, she discovers that relationships don’t always follow a script and that growing up means learning to listen as well as lead. Funny and heartfelt, this contemporary story is great for readers who like friendship dramas, family stories, and slice-of-life humor.
