Christine Lee has one goal for sophomore year: stop her father’s wedding. Still mourning her recently deceased mom, she’s going to do whatever it takes to get the life-size Barbie her dad calls a fiancée out of their lives.

Meanwhile the Miracle Girls are facing troubles of their own. After a magical summer together, the four friends feel the pressures of real life pulling them apart. Ana’s focused entirely on school, Riley has a new boyfriend and major trouble at home, and Zoe’s fending off an unwanted admirer. The Miracle Girls are falling apart just when Christine needs them the most.

Friends and family are important, but sometimes they drive you crazy. In high school we both struggled to make our parents understand the world we were living in and relate across generational differences, especially while trying to assert our independence. Meanwhile, high school is also that critical time when you learn how to make friends, be a friend, and hold each other close as the world tries to tear you apart.

In the second Miracle Girls book, we examine the complex relationships between family members, both new and old, and between friends. The girls have a lot of growing up to do, but they make plenty of new memories together along the way.
