Summary
Summary
The second coming of Clementine : A laugh-out-loud funny and smart new chapter-book series!
Sylvie Scruggs knows she can be a little bit difficult. Sometimes she says things she shouldn't. Sometimes she does things she oughtn't. And in those cases, she turns to her best friend, Miranda, who understands difficulty, and always knows how to help.
So when Sylvie gets home from a long and boring vacation to find that Miranda has befriended Georgie Diaz - that Georgie and Miranda have eaten root beer floats and staged a funeral together - she sees her place as Miranda's best friend threatened. And she knows something must be done.
Georgie Diaz is Sylvie's worst enemy. He always calls her Scruggs. He always beats her in baseball. (Plus, he's a boy.) Now he's getting Miranda a new pet and a birthday present, so Sylvie's going to do the same. Only she's going to do it ten times better. With the help of her twin brothers, a ferret, blocks, and some glitter glue, Sylvie sets out to make Miranda remember who her REAL best friend is, and forget about Georgie forever.

School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-4-There are so many reasons why Sylvie Scruggs doesn't like Georgie Diaz. He didn't invite her to his "welcome-Georgie-to-the neighborhood party," he makes fun of the way she pitches, and, worst of all, he's a boy. Now, Sylvie finds out that while she was away on her family's annual two-week vacation, Georgie stole her best friend, Miranda, right out from under her. Miranda and Sylvie have been best friends since they were babies. They had everything in common, and now Georgie is trying to come between them. Sylvie has to do something to keep Georgie from taking her place in Miranda's life. But will her plan work before Miranda's big birthday party? Eyre's laugh-out-loud debut novel captures the discovery of the opposite sex in a fun and realistic way, while Santoso's black-and-white artwork brings the personalities of the characters to life. Fans of Junie B. Jones will love the adventures of this heroine as they become engaged in this early chapter book.-Annette Herbert, F. E. Smith Elementary School, Cortland, NY (c) Copyright 2015.

Horn Book Review
In this older chapter book, nine-year-old Sylvie is determined to stop her BFF, Miranda Tan, from becoming friends with new boy Georgie Diaz before Miranda's birthday party. But Sylvie's plan is built on lies. Themes of friendship and honesty are strong, though Sylvie's self-torment is often unnecessary and unbelievable. Black-and-white illustrations bring the multiethnic neighborhood to life. (c) Copyright 2015. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Kirkus Review
Nine-year-old Sylvie Scruggs becomes obsessed with the notion that she must provide her best friend, Miranda Tan, with a birthday present superior to the one given by Sylvie's baseball rival, Georgie Diaz.Sylvie is appalled when Miranda cheers for both Sylvie and Georgie at a baseball game and becomes increasingly worried when she learns that Miranda and Georgie grew close while Sylvie was on a family vacation. The plot revolves mostly around Sylvie's bumbling attempts to make right a situation she has created: the somewhat accidental theft of Georgie's new pet ferret. Sylvie's mother perfectly pegs Sylvie's personality when she reports to Sylvie's dad about Sylvie's day: "No major disasters to report. Just worrying about things she doesn't need to worry about. Like usual." Sylvie tells the tale, and while it may well leave younger children laughing, the recommended upper range of 10 seems a stretch. Younger children will enjoy the fact that Sylvie is less mature than almost anyone else in the book, while older kids may wince at her foibles, her erroneous vocabulary choices and her ignorance of the word "indigestion." The debut novel deftly presents a multiethnic neighborhood, including some Spanish words from Georgie's abuela. The simple but expressive grayscale illustrations complement the book's humorous tone. A good read-aloud for second grade or an independent read for a third grader. (Fiction. 7-9) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
Booklist Review
Sylvie's best friend is being stolen away, or so she thinks. Eight-year-old Sylvie and Miranda are BFFs. Both are more interested in sports and science than girly-girl things. But while Sylvie is on vacation, Miranda befriends Sylvie's neighbor and baseball nemesis, Georgie. Sylvie is furious that Miranda cheers for both of them at their baseball game and that her rival has given Miranda a bigger and better birthday present. Overcome with jealousy, Sylvie attempts to discover what the better present is and accidentally steals one of the ferrets in Georgie's room. (Yes, she crawled in through his window!) In the process of resolving the stolen-ferret situation, Sylvie learns that best friends can have other friends, too. Supportive but firm parents offer both levity and sound advice to their daughter. This transitional book is printed in a large font with extra space between lines for easier reading. Expressive black-and-white spot illustrations support the text. Pair this with Barbara Park's Junie B. Jones series or Sara Pennypacker's Clementine series.--Edmundson, Martha Copyright 2015 Booklist
