Sugar Shack

Lucy Knisley

Jen couldn't be more excited to spend time onPeapod Farm with her stepsisters, Andy and Reese. For months, Jen has been so focused on trying to figure out how she fits into her new blended family that she hasn't realized she's found her place... that is, until Reese calls her "sister."

Excited and content, Jen thought she had figured everything out, but now she's not so sure. A rift emerges between the girls as Andy doubles down on being Reese's ACTUAL sister, while Jen is just the STEP sister. With Andy'sattitude bringing a cold front to the farm, it seems like it's going to be a long winter.

Maybe between Peapod Farm's first snow and learning how to tap a tree for sugar at winter's end, Jen and Andy both will have a chance to truly understand what it means to be family.
