Too Good to Be True

Step-Chain #4

by Ann Bryant

Young teens will relate to Ann Bryant’s original, lively, and humorous 12-book series about contemporary children, who are all connected by the chain of relationships formed when their parents divorce and re-couple. Titles are self-contained, but the same characters appear throughout the series. Each book deals with a specific problem of living in a blended family. In Too Good to Be True, volume 4 of The Step-Chain Series, we get to know Becca. Her mom describes her boyfriend’s daughter perfect in every way. She’s pretty, smart, and talented, while Becca, with her stringy hair, multiple zits, and complete lack of boobs, seems to be the complete opposite. How can she live up to the flawless stepsister?
