NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The first book in an acclaimed graphic novel series inspired by the author’s own childhood tells an amazing story of unlikely friends, sisters, and home.
"Like [Raina] Telgemeier, [Lucy] Knisley has a knack for crystallizing coming-of-age anxieties and social dynamics. City slickers and farm kids alike will enjoy this book (the first in a series)."—The New York Times
A Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT) Outstanding Comics Award Honor for Best Children’s Series
Jen did not want to leave the city. She did not want to move to a farm with her mom and her mom’s new boyfriend, Walter. She did not want to leave her friends and her dad.
Most of all, Jen did not want to get new "sisters," Andy and Reese.
As if learning new chores on Peapod Farm wasn’t hard enough, having to deal with perfect-at-everything Andy might be the last straw for Jen. Besides cleaning the chicken coop, trying to keep up with the customers at the local farmers’ market, and missing her old life, Jen has to deal with her own insecurities about this new family . . . and where she fits in.

“A realistic and relatable story of tween growth.” —The Horn Book, starred review

“Painfully realistic, this is a strong addition to the middle-grade shelf.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A quietly charming tale.” —Booklist
“Jen’s awkwardness, her struggles with math, and her grudging acceptance of her new life make her a relatable heroine that readers will root for.” —The Bulletin
