Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share their space, their parents, or their identity after a major family shift. While the story centers on two girls whose widowed parents marry after a whirlwind courtship, the heart of the narrative explores the friction and finality of becoming an instant sibling. It is an ideal choice for navigating the 'middle school' of family life, where jealousy and the need for belonging often collide. Written with the sensibilities of the 1960s, this story remains a relevant mirror for the complex emotions of a blended family. It tackles the loss of old routines and the awkwardness of forced intimacy with peers who were once strangers. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's resistance to change while gently steering them toward the possibilities of a new kind of sisterhood.
