About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling with the logistical and emotional upheaval of a parent's remarriage or the sudden introduction of a new sibling. It is a perfect choice for the pre-teen who feels like their life is being redesigned without their consent. The story follows Lucy B. Parker as her mother prepares to marry a man who happens to be the father of a famous teenage TV star, Laurel Moses. While the plot features a high-profile celebrity element, the heart of the book is grounded in the anxiety of sharing a parent and the pressure to fit into a new family dynamic. It addresses feelings of jealousy and being left out with a humorous, lighthearted touch that makes the heavy transitions of blended family life feel manageable. For children aged 8 to 12, this book serves as a reassuring reminder that while change is messy, it also brings new opportunities for connection.
