This would make a great book for a child who's parents are divorced and are now beginning to date other people. Maybe their parents should read it ,too.

This book follows "When I am Happiest". In the first book Dani's dad was struck by a car and injured. This book takes place the following summer. Dani has been staying with her best friend's family on an island while her dad recovers. On his first visit to see Dani he surprises her by bringing his nurse - who is also his girlfriend. Dani is understandably surprised and upset. This could be a text book on how not to surprise your young child with your new girlfriend. I didn't care for it any more than I cared for the first one. While the antics of the girls pre-visit were amusing, this story is rather like the first - a total downer.
