About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is adjusting to the noise, mess, and new relationships of a blended family. Iz, formerly the neat and organized Elizabeth, finds her world turned upside down when she moves in with her new stepmother, two rowdy stepbrothers, and a house full of chaotic pets. The story gently explores themes of belonging, resilience, and finding love and joy in unexpected places. Written in a lighthearted and humorous tone, this book is perfect for normalizing the sometimes overwhelming feelings that come with big family changes for children ages 8 to 12.
