Suddenly Lester is the one getting special treatment, just because he demands it. Lola and Lester find themselves in screaming matches over the silliest things. Will Lola ever learn her lesson? Will Lester learn his? This wonderful book has a valuable message that isn’t preachy, delivered with warmth and charm. F&P Level: N F&P Genre: F
