Publisher Description

Twelve-year-old Annabel thought Christmas break was going to be amazing. She’d planned to stay home in New York City with her best friend and do traditional things like go ice-skating in Rockefeller Center, hit the after-Christmas sale at Bloomingdale’ s, and scream with the TRL crowd at MTV in Times Square. But when her best friend bails, Annabel’s mom decides it’s high time Annabel visit her father and his new family in Australia. Annabel is not pleased about traveling around the world to meet “the steps”–twelve-year-old fashion-disaster stepsister, five-year-old stepbrother, and baby half sister–but she’s not going to waste this chance to steal her father back.

"I love this book! It's so relatable, I really feel the emotions of Annabel as she visits her father in Australia. Annabel's father has gotten remarried and moved across the world, where he lives with his two stepkids. These new step-siblings cause a lot of mixed feelings for Annabel, and she goes through a lot of change in this book. The characters undergo a lot of development throught the story as well. This is a wonderful book for the upper elementary school or middle school reader."

    " I gave this book three stars because it was exciting. It was a little slow at the beginning, but towards the middle and the end, it was fantastic. I really liked that the two girls were totally different, yet they got along pretty well at the end. I like how the girl who seemed like the total 'goodie-goodie' was the one who came up with the plan to run away to her grandma's house. It was a really good book, and it kept me reading. I hope more people read this book, because it was pretty good. "

    " Twelve-year-old Annabel was planning to stay home with her best friend in Nyc for Christmas, but everyhting gets ruined. Her mom decides that she should visit her dad and his " new "family in Australia. Disappointed, she goes and meets "the steps", a twelve-year-old fashion-disaster stepsister,a five-year-old stepbrother, and a baby half sister. She is determined to win her father back with this trip. During this time, she learns more about her other family members and realizes that her dad still loves her even though he is with someone else. She returns back liking her step family more. This book was okay and it had a lot about family issues. People that like family issues should read this. This book was really that interesting though! "
