Amy’s father had always said she was a special child. And Amy thought so, too. After all, only really special people live in castles. Suri’s mother reckons there are worse things in life than living in a castle. But Suri and her brothers, Bear and Erik, disagree. The castle is located in the dull flatlands, which will take some adjusting. It's also managed by their mother’s boyfriend, who’ll be living there with them. The fact that he has a daughter doesn’t make things any easier, because Amy’s pretty special. Amy can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of being part of a blended family. She's thrilled to have siblings. But bringing two families with two different backgrounds together can be difficult, and as tension grows within the stone walls of their new home, it's starting to look like Amy's wish of having a big family might not come true. Bestselling author Monika Feth’s story is told from the alternating perspectives of Amy, a girl with Down syndrome, and her stepsister-to-be, Suri.

“A romp of a read!” —Rebecca Balcárcel, Pura Belpré Honor–winning author of The Other Half of Happy When new classmates Mattie and Mercedes meet and realize they have the same Colombian dad, the two team up in a Parent Trap–inspired misadventure to meet him for the first time in this sharp and poignant middle grade novel about the bonds that make a family. Mattie Gomez feels directionless after being uprooted from her beloved Minnesota and forced to move in with her new stepfamily in California. So when she meets a girl at her new middle school who looks exactly like her, she’s not sure what to make of it. But her doppelganger, the popular Mercedes Miller, doesn’t like it one bit. Mercedes is used to getting what she wants, when she wants; Mattie would rather be invisible and blend into the background. Mercedes lives in a big empty house with her nanny; Mattie’s new home is packed-to-the-gills, twenty-four/seven chaos. Mercedes has a short fuse; Mattie is a planner. Though they may look alike, the two of them couldn’t be more different. Soon enough, however, Mattie and Mercedes learn that they have at least one thing in common: a dad from Colombia that neither of them has ever met. Determined to meet the father they’ve never known, these polar opposites suddenly have to work together to fake sleepovers, evade their friends, and plot daring escapes from school field trips in an effort to track down him down. If only they could stop bickering long enough to get the show on the road.
