Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share you with a new partner or step-siblings. Lexie is a sensitive story about a ten year old girl who expects a special solo vacation with her father, only to find his new girlfriend and her sons are coming along. It beautifully captures the sting of broken expectations and the quiet frustration of feeling replaced. For children aged 8 to 12, it provides a realistic mirror for the complicated mix of resentment and eventual acceptance that comes with blending families. It is an excellent choice for normalizing the 'growing pains' of a new family dynamic without forcing a perfect, happy ending.
