About this book
A spirited younger sister is fed up with her older sibling getting all the attention, so she makes a list of ten surefire ways to make her disappear—at least from her life. Each plan is funnier (and messier) than the last, and none works quite the way she expects. Along the way, she starts to understand her sister—and herself—a little better. Short chapters, humor, and a warm family story make this a great pick for readers moving up to longer books.
Setting: contemporary suburban neighborhood and elementary school
