 eries\, "Tales from Deckawoo Drive". We will also be celebrating the publi

 >\n<p>Mercy is selfish and impulsive\, but no matter how much trouble she 
 gets in\, Mr. and Mrs. Watson continue to love her and see her in the best
  possible light. Young readers love to join along in her hilarious adventu
 res\, taking comfort in the fact that their parents and guardians will lov
 e them no matter what as well. BYOBT &ndash\; Bring Your Own Buttered Toas
