Reach for this book if your child is struggling with the 'shadow effect,' feeling invisible or less important than a sibling who is receiving significant attention or accolades. While the story centers on the extreme scenario of a sister becoming a pop star, it speaks directly to the universal feelings of being the 'ordinary' child and the frustration of having your family life disrupted by another person's success. It is a lighthearted yet resonant look at identity and setting boundaries within a family dynamic. Twelve year old Sam just wants her sister back from a world tour, but instead, she gets a film crew. The story follows Sam as she navigates a reality TV production and learns to advocate for her own privacy and sense of self. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who enjoy humorous, contemporary stories that address real emotional hurdles like sibling rivalry and social embarrassment with a hopeful, empowered resolution.
