Gr 3—5—Middle-schooler Monica feels as though her stepsister Angela ruins everything. This weekend is no exception as she is being forced to babysit. How can she be expected to enjoy her horseback riding lesson, watching a movie, and attending a friend's art show if she has to watch Angela? Of course, as the day wears on, Monica comes to understand Angela, and the two start to form a friendlier relationship. Messages shared through "Friend Book" and random phrases and sentences in large pink type are more distracting than anything else. Additional, unless stepsibling books are in high demand.—Elizabeth Swistock, Jefferson Madison Regional Library, Charlottesville, VA
