 The familiar see-saw of sisterly love and hate... February 26, 2008
Fourteen-year-old Jackie Howard is sure ninth grade will be her year to shine. Not only will she finally be in high school, but her older sister Sharon - perfect, popular, everyone's darling - will be off at college. Finally, Jackie can establish a reputation all her own!
But as Jackie quickly learns, it's not all the easy - her teachers see her as "Sharon's little sister," and her parents seem to spend more time talking about Sharon in her absence than when she lived at home. Jackie gets cast off from drill team tryouts within minutes, when Sharon made captain; and somehow, only average girls want to be friends. How does Jackie go about turning things around?
This humorous and realistic story is guaranteed to strike a chord in readers, who can either relate to the sister dynamic or the struggle to "make yourself noticed" in high school.

Being the younger sister in my family, i can totally empathize with jackie howard. older sisters ARE creeps! They think that they're SO important - like Jackie's sister Sharon. Anyway, everytime I read this book, i remember...the good times with the bad... if you're also a younger sister that grew up in the late eighties/early nineties, then I can guarantee that you'll never tire of this book!

Jacqueline Howard doesn't know what to do! Her sister Sharon is moving away to Madison and Jackie is wayting to get her room. But, soon she realizes that she is missing Sharon very much. At the same time Jacqueline goes to High school where Sharon has been. Teachers are calling Jacqueline as a "Sharon's little sister" and Jacqueline doesn't find any friends she would like. And when Sharon is visiting at Howards, she acts like Cleopatra or something. What Jacqueline should do with it...?
