Young readers will be enchanted by these four interconnected tales of Lulu Atlantis, a spunky little girl whose best friend, Harry, is a daddy-longlegs spider. When her mother brings home an unwelcome addition to the family—a new baby brother—Lulu and Harry embark on a quest for the meaning of "True Blue Love." She's fairly certain it's not the way her mother ignores her and dotes on the drooling baby, or the way her father's always away for work. But what could True Blue Love be? And, more important, how can she get it? Among their many adventures, Lulu and Harry befriend a skunk with his head stuck in a yogurt carton; steal a frog prince from his pond; and fend off a monster under the baby's bed. In the end, it takes a near-tragedy for Lulu to discover what True Blue Love really is, and that she's had it all along. For ages 7-11.
