Taming of The Dru

This is the fourth of five books in Katie Maxwell's Emily Series. The Taming of The Dru tells of Emily's last month living in England. Emily is not in school and takes a job for a month at a museum, but is disgusted to discover the job is labelling bones of dead birds! After having broken up with her boyfriend Devon in France, she can hardly wait for her friend Fang to return from New Zealand so she can make him her official boyfriend, only he comes home with a girlfriend named Audrey. Emily goes from a crying mess to trying to win him back, convince Audrey she is wrong for him, trying to set Audrey up with someone else, until eventually she decides to take Fang's words literally by "fighting for him" challenging Audrey to a sword fight using real swords at The Battle of Helms Deep st Never Neverland summer camp where Holly works. Emily deffinatly makes her last month in England interesting between work, Audrey, her friend Dru's visit from Seattle, and attempting a final exorcism on Dermontt (the ghost who has been haunting her underwear drawer this entire series since "The Year My Life Went Down The Loo"). The book is not the most interesting in the series, but funny all the same. It is worth a read, especially if you have read the rest of the series before it. I give it four stars.
