MONSTER BABY
"Big is the new small"

This Family is Driving Me Crazy:
Ten Stories About Surviving Your Family

"Happily (Sorta) Ever After (Maybe)"

Lexi loves reading stories with twists and turns, but she is not crazy when twists and turns show up in real life.   How did she end up living with her brother and his soon-to-give-birth wife in a Munchkin house in Kansas, facing 8th grade in a new school with no friends? Crazy!
