Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8 Thirteen-year-old Maggie from Maggie, Too (1985) and And Maggie Makes Three (1986, both HBJ) returns in this story of family problems. Maggie resents her father's demand that she leave her grandmother's Houston home and spend Christmas with him and his new young wife in California. Although she is upset about leaving her friends behind, it is not long before Maggie has made new friends. Nixon incorporates an exotic Malibu setting, a handsome young television star, a budding romance, and a mystery into this fairly fast moving coming-of-age teen novel. Characters border on the one-dimensional, and it's not very realistic that in one short week Maggie should discover that she has lost weight, is pretty, can act mature, loves her stepmother, and has a handsome new boyfriend. However, the likable characters and the action-filled plot should make this book popular. Susan McCord, Boise Public Library, Idaho

Maggie Forevermore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Maggie Forevermore (Hardcover)
This is a very interesting yet fairly perdictable story of a young girl, Maggie, who is forced to visit her father and his new bride at Christmas. She would so much rather spend it with her Grandmother. Maggie trip turns out to be more fun than expected. She likes her new step-mom, meets a famous boy actor and becomes good friends. They get involved in a plot to help Truly , also a new friend to expose her crooked manager.
