My Sister, My Science Report

Reach for this book if your child is navigating the shifting sands of a relationship with an older sibling or struggling with the social pressure of school cliques. It is a perfect choice for students who feel 'stuck' with classmates they do not think they like. The story follows Tess and her socially awkward partner, Davy, as they decide to conduct a science project by observing the behavior of Tess's moody teenage sister. Through humor and scientific 'observation,' the book explores deep themes of empathy, family dynamics, and the danger of making snap judgments about others. It is highly appropriate for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a relatable and lighthearted way to discuss how people are often much more complex than the labels we give them. Parents will appreciate how it models the transition from irritation to understanding in both friendships and family life.
