The Reluctant Flower Girl

“A must for any girl about to walk down the aisle.”
--starred review, Publishers Weekly

Oppenheim Gold Award

April can't believe her big sister, Annabel - her best friend - is about to get married and leave her! Not even getting to be the flower girl in the wedding keeps April from doing everything she can to convince Harold, Annabel's fiance, not to marry her sister.
