Gillian's future stepmother, Amber just won't go away no matter what Gillian tries to do. Now Amber is planning her wedding, and Gillian hates the junior bridesmaid's dress Amber has chosen for her to wear. Gillian thinks the color looks like something she smears on a bologna sandwich or worse. As the war of wills continues between them, Amber takes Gillian on a shopping trip for a new dress. Once more, the feisty nine-year-old is plotting how she can sabotage the wedding and get rid of Amber, who has a secret she won't reveal until the wedding. In this second book in the Amber series, Gillian laughs, cries, stamps her feet, pulls pranks, and tries her best to accept this new person in her father's life. The question is, will she succeed, or will the battle between Gillian and Amber go on and on.
