Scarlett just turned fifteen, but instead of being awarded a fantastic vacation away from home (like all her other friends)
she is given a suite in the hotel she lives in to take care of...like every other Martin in the family when they turn fifteen.
This isn't too bad until she meets her first guest that she must cater to, Mrs. Amberson, who will be staying all summer
long! Though Scarlett believes this will be another boring summer, things start to get crazy with Mrs. Amberson along.
She almost gets arrested for shoplifting, must keep helping to save her brother's production of Hamlet and his chances of
ever making it as an actor, fetching Mrs. Amberson more tea then she could ever need, and even falling for a boy along
the way!
Get ready New York: Scarlett is taking over!
This is my first novel by Maureen Johnson, but by no means will it be the last! I loved SUITE SCARLETT from the very
beginning, immensely enjoying the characters and adventures. Scarlett and her brother, Spencer, have a great relationship
with amazingly witty comebacks. You'll find yourself laughing along and wishing you had their relationship with your
siblings!
The book is hilarious, thought-provoking, and fun! I'm thrilled there is going to be a sequel. So if you've read Johnson's
work before...you need this one, as well. And if you haven't, then get to it! It's the perfect book to start you out on!
