Melanie in Manhattan

(4) 4-6 Melanie might have a crush on two boys, and her best friend has a new friend (to Melanie, an interloper). Melanie's diary entries are full of her realistic insecurities and embarrassments, not to mention tours of Manhattan (with cute Miguel, visiting from Spain). While many plot elements are rehashed from her previous adventures, Melanie is a believable fifth-grader.
