Just Arrived

Dear Sister

by Joe Bluhm, Alison McGhee   |  Ages 8-11
$9.90
Dear Sister
Dear Sister

Funny, tender sibling chaos in letter form

This feels like peeking into the most honest, hilarious notes siblings would never admit are actually affectionate. The letter format gives it a playful bite, while the humor and little daily annoyances make the love underneath land even harder. If you like family stories that are goofy, sharp, and secretly sweet, this one will feel very real.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

“While books on sibling rivalry abound, Dear Sister brings freshness to the topic with McGhee's gentle humor and poignant scenarios… Dear indeed.” — Kirkus Reviews “A meaningful look at…siblinghood and all its foibles.” — Publishers Weekly What do you do when you have an incredibly annoying little sister? Write her letters telling her so, of course! From New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee comes a wickedly funny, illustrated, heartwarming, and searingly honest collection of letters from an older brother to his little sister. Whininess, annoyingness, afraid of the darkness, refusal to eat lima beans, and pulling brother’s hair. These are the criteria on which little sisters are graded. Inspired by the notes Alison McGhee’s own kids would write each other, this heavily illustrated collection of letters and messages from an older brother to his little sister reveal the special love—or, at the very least, tolerance—siblings have for each other.
