What does a ten-year-old girl do when her mother's best friend moves into her room -- beauty products, sheepdog, pantyhose, and all? What our beloved worrywart is not going to do is bite the bullet. She wants her bedroom back and that means Alice must go! Angel springs into action, looking for a man to marry Alice and take her away, out of Angel's house and family. It's a comedy of errors as Angel and her mastermind friend Edna try and try again to find a love match for Alice -- from the personal ads to a traveling cookware salesman. Along the way, Angel learns that more changes are in store, and she can handle them much better than she thought.
Angel is growing up, and there's not a dull moment in the Poppadopolis household. From the very first page to the satisfying ending, readers will be hooked on this hilariously funny, fast-paced story about an especially endearing favorite character.

In 18th-century England, shell mania knew no limits. Country estates were outfitted with grottoes, where every surface was covered with intricate layers and patterns of shells. Later, throughout much of the 19th century, shell-encrusted furniture was displayed in upper-class homes, and sailors' valentines were brought from Barbados to waiting sweethearts.
