Mariah Delaney, that enterprising schemer, is back with bigger and better plans. Seeing how excited her classmates become over a popular author's visit to their school, Mariah's Author-of-the-Month Club is born. Now real authors can come on a monthly basis to tell "the stories behind the stories" to Mariah's classmates and friends. The club suffers a slow start, but when Mariah persuades a famous author of a well-loved book to come to a meeting, things really get going...just in time for disaster to strike.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-- Inspired by a school visit from a popular writer, the indelible Mariah Delany launches another ambitious enterprise. Despite the misgivings of her parents, cynical utterances from her teachers, and a total lack of support from her friends--all of whom still have a sharp recollection of her last escapade--the young entrepreneur is determined to make her Author-of-the-Month Club a raving success. After a disastrous meeting with a "mystery author" (a disguised classmate reading her own rambling stories), an encounter with a famous writer who does not seem to like children, and a visit from another who expects lodgings for a month, Mariah reluctantly gives up her project and resignedly faces piles of accumulated homework. With her usual spirit and enthusiasm, the heroine survives numerous mishaps and plot twists and still manages to remind those around her that "Books make things happen." Humorous pen-and-ink sketches capture the energy and determination of this enjoyable character. --Joy Fleishhacker, School Lib. Journal
