There is a cute boy in the sixth grade, and Mallory has a fabulous outfit and an intricately drawn plan for getting his attention. But "Operation: Get Noticed" doesn't get her noticed in the way she had hoped. Now Mallory's brother, Max, won't mind his own business about her crush; Mallory's dad thinks Mallory should spend more time on school work; and Max won't keep his smelly dog out of Mallory's room. Can Mallory keep boys, brothers, dads, and dogs from ruining her happily-ever-after ending?
