As if her Dad getting married wasn't enough...it's going to be far away from home...in Texas! Think things can't get any worse? Well, it does. Stephanie's niece, Tiff, acts like a total spoiled brat towards Maddie. Will Madison's luck change? Or will this whole ordeal turn out a disaster...just like Madison thinks it will? Find out in 'To Have and to Hold'.

The Best

Ok this book is like THE BEST EVA!! I love the ninth book but this one is so good too! It's about when Madison Finn's dad breaks the news to her that he's getting married to his girlfriend, Stephanie. Of course Madison is shocked. She doesn't exactly love the idea but what can you do? Anyway she finds a cool orange dress for the wedding and shoes to match and flies to Texas. Steph's family is MAMMOTH so Maddie's not too comfortable, but in the end she gets through it all making a few friends(and about a thousand new cousins) along the way! P.S Maddie thinks her cousin is a Texas clone of enemy #1: Poison Ivy and Maddie meets a boy that's DEFINATELY cuter that Hart! Too bad he's her future cousin!! AND speaking of Hart, Maddie's BFF's find out a secret Madison's been hiding from them from the beginning of 7th grade!!! I love this book! It's really good and I even got a free locket so... You really should buy/order this book, It's AWESOME!!!! I DEFINATELY recommend it! Totally :o)

Best Book!!!!!!!

This is the best book I have ever read! I have all the Madison Finn books and I love them all! This one is the first super special that Laura Dower has ever wrote for the Madison Finn series and I think that it's great! In this book, Madison's dad and Stephanie get married (in Texas!!) and Madison is the junior maid of honour! She is really nervous but her mom had already got her a beautiful orange dress and orange shoes to match it!! Madison also has to think of what to give for a wedding present..she was thinking of making a collage and a poem but she is really frustrated because she doesn't have much time and the wedding is in less than 2 weeks!! This book is fantastic! I would reccomend it to everyone!!!
