Ten Good and Bad Things About My Life (So Far)

(2) 4-6 Fifth-grader Pearl (Ten Rules for Living with My Sister) writes an essay about her summer vacation: Dad loses his job, Pearl and big-sis Lexie head to Camp Merrimac, the family embarks on a "staycation," and the sisters earn their own money. Martin cuts her characters' sweetness with a good dose of sass in this reflective look at the financially strained family's adventures.
