[Richard Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

with illustrations by Eugenie Fernandes

This is the one with the OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT tie-in — the two girls are invited to the wedding.

I chose the name Effie for one protagonist of the story because, after reading (or being read) a book called EFFIE AND THE DRAGON (?), Jesse "changed her name" to Effie for several months. And Effie was the name that Jesse and her husband chose for their first child.
