Step by Step

A great song by Eddie Rabbitt. And have a mentioned he was hot?  Yes.   And also a great, different song by NKOTB.  The Steps by Rachel Cohn?  It was okay.  It pains me to say that because I LOVE Rachel Cohn so much!  And I love everything I have read by her.  But maybe because this book was done for middle schoolers...I don't know...it didn't do it for me.  Though it wasn't bad.  And I would recommend it to kids.  I listened to it on my drive from Bryant to Dallas and I did enjoy the reading, as well.  It is the story of a young girl (12) from NYC, who has parents who end up remarrying and having other kids- so now she has sept and half sibs.  In this book, which was 1 of a 2 book deal, she goes to Sydney to spend Christmas break with her dad and meet her new half-sister, her half-brother, step-mom and ex-step brother (if there is such a thing.  Annabelle is spoiled, but has a good heart and I found her likable.  It just wasn't FANTASTIC, as I have come to see Rachel Cohn.
