Mister and Me
by Kimberly Willis Holt

Lexile:  710

Jolene Jasmine Johnson’s father died when she was a baby so her Momma (Ruby) and Grandpa Foster have to take care of her. Then her Momma starts to date Leroy Redfield. He is really loud. Jolene doesn’t want to get to know him so she decides to call him “Mister” instead of Leroy. Leroy gives her candy, but she still doesn't like him. Mister knows that Jolene doesn’t like him, he tries to make her like him. Momma feels hurt because she wants Jolene to like him since she is going to marry Mister. Jolene tries to get Momma’s love back by excepting him into her family.

This was a good book. I didn’t like the way Jolene treated Mister, but the author gave it a wonderful ending!
