Plus, he’s a boy.Now Georgie is trying to steal Sylvie’s best friend, Miranda Tan. He’s giving Miranda a super-special birthday present, so Sylvie will too — only her present will be ten times better. With the help of her twin brothers, a ferret, a castle, and some glitter glue, Sylvie sets out to make Miranda remember who her REAL best friend is, and forget about Georgie forever.”Two words: Sylvie Scruggs. Two more words: LOVE HER! Eyre nails it with this new kid on the block. (And here’s a challenge: I dare you not to laugh out loud).” — Barbara O’Connor, author of How To Steal A Dog and The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester
