Two years after her parents’ divorce, twelve-year-old Bea’s father announces he and his boyfriend Jesse are getting married. Bea is thrilled. She loves Jesse. And when she learns that Jesse has a daughter her same age, she is even more thrilled about the prospect of finally having a sister like she has always dreamed of. As they prepare for the wedding and face new changes, Bea discovers that the realities of being a blended family are sometimes more challenging than she imagined. The first-person narration authentically reveals Bea’s inner thoughts and feelings with respect. An uplifting—but not overly sentimental—story. Reviewed by Mr. Gregg
