Fiction
Ten Rules for Living With My Sister presents a year in the life of a nine-year-old New York girl who
lives with her parents and teenage sister. It has
just enough humor, warmth, and plot to keep an 8- to 12-year-old girl reading. Martin has a way with storytelling, and even
though the main character still believes in Santa Claus, she also deals with
preteen issues of friendlessness, embarrassment, and dealing with a beloved
grandfather who is losing his faculties.
This will be sure to resonate with youngsters who like a realistic story
told with attention to emotions and human relationships.
