Suite Scarlett

SUITE SCARLETT: Maureen Johnson: Point: Young Adult: 353 pages

Scarlett Martin lives in the small New York City hotel that her family owns. On her 15th birthday, Scarlett’s given responsibility for one of the suites in the hotel and suddenly becomes entangled in the life of the suite’s summer resident, Mrs. Ambersen, an eccentric actress who makes Scarlett her assistant. Scarlett and her entire family—caring parents, struggling actor brother, sheltered younger sister, and beautiful older sister—are warm and grounded characters who make a nice foil for Mrs. Ambersen and her (mostly) well-meaning schemes and antics. Fun and fast-paced.

I enjoyed reading about Scarlett and her siblings. It's so rare to read a story where the main characters are all related.

I hope there will be a sequel. I want to find out what happens with Scarlett and the boy she likes.
