Amy is excited to meet her new stepsister Chloe...but it turns out Chloe doesn't feel the same way! Can Amy and Chloe get along?

Amy's mom and dad have been divorced for as long as Amy can remember, but nothing prepares Amy for the news she gets on a weekend visit to her dad's house in Orange Blossom: Amy's dad is remarrying! In addition to getting a stepmother, Amy will also be getting a stepsister her age named Chloe.

As the girls spend more time together, Amy realizes that Chloe isn't as nice as she appears to be in front of the grown-ups. Chloe plays pranks on Amy and is just downright mean to her. Amy worries that she'll be stuck with this stinky stepsister for life. Will she and Chloe ever be friends?

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

Author Notes

It was around this time that she realized the world was full of all kinds of critters that could use some love. She now lives with her husband and two kids in Connecticut. They share their home with exactly ten fish and a very active ant farm.

Horn Book Review

Critter Club members Liz, Marion, Amy, and Ellie help run an animal shelter. In these books, Liz needs to attend summer school, ultra-busy Marion sprains her ankle and learns to slow down, and Amy tries to befriend her soon-to-be stepsister. The relatable animal-loving girls discover things about themselves in this sweet illustrated series that tackles important topics in an accessible way. [Review covers these Critter Club titles: Amy Meets Her Stepsister, Liz Learns a Lesson, and Marion Takes a Break.] (c) Copyright 2014.
