About this ebook
Beatrice More is no average third-grader.
Beatrice is a list-making, hyperorganized perfectionist whose laid-back parents and messy little sister consistently frustrate her high standards. And when a new house, a new neighborhood and new friends are thrown into the mix, Beatrice sends the family into a comic tailspin, all in the name of “professionalism.” Despite her most feverish organizational efforts, Beatrice ultimately discovers that some of the best experiences are the ones you can’t control.

Beatrice More Moves In - Alison Hughes
Chapter One
The Mess
It wasn’t that Beatrice More didn’t like boxes. She did.
She especially liked boxes that were perfect squares. They stacked easily. They held things that would otherwise mess up the house. They were neat and tidy.
But today Beatrice was sick of boxes. Very, very sick of boxes. Looking around her new house, all she could see were stacks of them. On the floor. On the kitchen counters. On the furniture.

She said, "Somebody’s walking through the house with their shoes on!" very loudly several times before her mother finally shushed her.
The moving guys were horrible listeners. They just smiled, carried in more boxes with their sticky hands and kept making a bigger and bigger mess.

It’s about time,
grumbled Beatrice. She stood in the living room with her hands on her hips. As she looked around, her eyes narrowed.
