With her father away on business and her mother living in Paris, unhappy fourteen-year-old Shelley finds herself attending a family reunion with her trouble-making younger brother and their anxious new stepmother. The reunion leads Shelley to a believable confrontation with her anger and an acceptance of her imperfect family in this updated (e-mail, cell phones), enjoyable reissue.
