Hardcover edition
Publisher Scholastic Imprint Scholastic Inc. ISBN9798225066512
From strangers to sisters...
Annie couldn't be more excited. She's moving to an adorable small town where she'll find the perfect friend group and maybe even her first boyfriend. Her new house has a pool, and she's getting a stepsister her age named Leela...
Leela is NOT happy. She's leaving the bright lights of New York City to live in the middle of nowhere with an annoying stepsister AND two stepbrothers. Plus, kids at her new school seem gossipy and toxic. Leela wants out.
When a blended family brings together two very different girls--each with their own secrets, crushes, and schemes--drama ensues. Will Annie and Leela find a way to get along, or is their luck about to run out?
Fast-paced and bingeable, this book features gorgeous illustrations by artist Madi Wong that bring the characters and setting to life. Bestselling and award-winning authors Sarah Mlynowski and Christina Soontornvat set up an irresistible series that will have you eager for Book 2!
