When her brother goes to camp, leaving her to care for his gross lizard, overlooked sibling Sister sends him letter after letter detailing her disdain for the scaly burden heâs saddled her with?â?a correspondence that leads to a newfound appreciation for each other. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - Simon and Schuster
Diary of a Wimpy Kid gets a little sister twist in this wildly funny and highly illustrated companion to middle grade novel Dear Sister from New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee that brings sibling rivalryâand loveâto life through a series of letters.
Sister has been the overlooked younger sibling for her WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. She knows the drill. Her brotherâs banjo band is praised while no one acknowledges Sisterâs bongo skills. Sister does the grunt work, but Brother gets the credit. But this time, the blatant injustice has gone too far. This time, Americaâs 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 HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFEâa pet the whole family could love. No, Brother chooses a bearded dragon.
Sister is outraged. The picture of injured dignity, she refuses to acknowledge the creatureâs existence. It doesnât matter how much it stares at her or bobs its head to her bongo-ing, Sister is unmoved. Then, adding insult to injury, Brother gets to go to summer camp, leaving Sister at home to take care of his disgusting lizard.
Sister refuses to suffer in silence. She sends Brother letter after letter detailing her disdain for the scaly burden heâs saddled her withâeven if the aptly nick-named Frightful isnât too awful. To her surprise, Brotherâs letters in reply reveal camp may not be everything he thoughtâand as their correspondence continues, the two siblings begin to find common ground. Sister may even develop a newfound appreciation for Brotherâand the bearded dragonâ¦maybe.
