Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a lack of privacy or the frustration of a younger sibling who mimics their every move. While it is flattering to be a role model, the constant imitation can feel like an invasion of identity, and this story perfectly captures that tension. It follows Kristy Thomas as she navigates the irritation of her younger stepsister, Karen, copying her clothes, her hobbies, and even her personality. As part of the beloved Baby-Sitters Club series, this book is ideal for readers aged 8 to 12. It provides a relatable look at blended family dynamics and the importance of setting boundaries with empathy. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's right to their own space while gently teaching them how to handle a 'copycat' with patience rather than just anger.
