Book #21 of 2010
Title: Scarlett Fever
Author: Maureen Johnson
Publisher: Point
Pub Date: February 1, 2010
Grade: A-
Comments: In this sequel to Suite Scarlett, the Martin family hotel is still struggling. Scarlett is a bit obsessed with Eric and still working for Mrs. Anderson (even though she’s moved out). Lola is a bit uncomfortable with her status in life since she gave up on college, broke up with Chip and has to deal with his mean friends at her job. Spencer is still auditioning, but without much success. Marlene is the only Martin kid who is in a good mood (and that’s a shock in itself!). Life begins to change rapidly as Mrs. Anderson’s new client and her brother create some new problems for Scarlett, Spencer gets the part of a lifetime, and Lola makes a surprising decision.

If you haven’t read Suite Scarlett, you need to read that first because the strength of this book is the characters and you need the backstory to really care about the Martin family. This is a solid continuation that leaves room for more.
