Reach for this book when your child is navigating the complexities of a blended family, or if they are feeling anxious about making new friends in a high-pressure environment like summer camp. It is a modern, joyful look at what happens when two very different twelve-year-olds are thrust together by their fathers' new relationship. Avery is an anxious New Yorker who prefers books to people, while Bett is a fearless Californian who loves the ocean and animals. Through their shared correspondence, they navigate the bumpy road from forced acquaintances to chosen sisters. This story is perfect for middle-schoolers (ages 10-14) who appreciate humor and realistic depictions of family life. It handles the nuances of LGBTQ+ parenting and non-traditional family structures with warmth and normalcy, focusing on the universal struggle of finding where you belong. Parents will appreciate the clever writing and the positive message that family is something you build, not just something you are born into.
