Sister has been the overlooked younger sibling for years. Her brother’s banjo band is praised while no one acknowledges Sister’s bongo skills. Sister does the grunt work, but Brother gets the credit. But this time, the blatant injustice has gone too far: America’s Famous Nothing has been granted the incredible power of choosing the family pet. And what does he choose? Certainly not a dog, the pet Sister has begged and pleaded for. No, Brother chooses a bearded dragon.
Sister is outraged and refuses to acknowledge the creature’s existence. It doesn’t matter how much it stares at her or bobs its head to her bongo-ing, Sister is unmoved. Worse, Brother gets to go to summer camp, leaving Sister at home to take care of his disgusting lizard. While he's away, Sister sends Brother letter after letter detailing her disdain — even if the aptly named Frightful isn’t too awful. To her surprise, Brother’s letters in reply reveal camp may not be everything he thought. As their correspondence continues, the two siblings begin to find common ground, and Sister may even develop a newfound appreciation for Brother… maybe. Diary of a Wimpy Kid gets a little sister twist in this wildly funny and highly illustrated novel by New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee that brings sibling rivalry — and love — to life.
