Book Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Andi is tired of being a
second-class sibling to perfect sister Laina. There in Laina's shadow, Andi's
only noticeable feature is her pretty awesome hair. And even that is eclipsed
by Laina's perfect everything
else.
When
Andi’s crush asks her to fix him up with Laina, Andi decides enough is
enough and devises a twelve-step program to wrangle
the spotlight away from Laina. After all, great hair must count for
something.
Step 1:
Admit she’s powerless to change her perfect sister, and accept that her life
really, really sucks. OK, maybe that's two steps in
one.
Step 4: Make a list of her good qualities besides great
hair. There have got to be at least three good qualities,
right?
Step 7: Demand attention for more than just her
shortcomings, and break out of her shell. Easier said that done, but worth the
effort in the long-run.
When a stolen kiss from her crush ends in
disaster, Andi finds that her prince isn’t as charming as she'd hoped, and
realizes she may need a new program--perhaps with less steps!
As cracks in Laina’s flawless façade begin to show,
the sisters work together to find a spotlight big enough for both to
shine.
About the Author
As the second of eight children and the mother of four, Veronica
Bartles is no stranger to the ups and downs of sibling relationships. (She was
sandwiched between the gorgeous-and-insanely-popular older sister and the
too-adorable-for-words younger sister.) She uses this insight to write stories
about siblings who mostly love each other, even while they’re driving one
another crazy. When she isn’t writing or getting lost in
the pages of her newest favorite book, Veronica enjoys knitting fabulous bags
and jewelry out of recycled plastic bags and old VHS tapes, sky diving (though
she hasn’t actually tried that yet), and inventing the world’s most delectable
cookie recipes. TWELVE STEPS is Veronica Bartles's
first novel.
