Twelve-year-old Annabel thought Christmas break was going to be
amazing. She'd planned to stay home in New York City with her best
friend and do traditional things like go ice-skating in Rockefeller
Center, hit the after-Christmas sale at Bloomingdale's, and scream with
the TRL crowd at MTV in Times Square. But when her best friend bails,
Annabel's mom decides it's high time Annabel visit her father and his
new family in Australia.
Annabel is not pleased about traveling around the world to meet "the
steps" -- twelve-year-old fashion-disaster stepsister, five-year-old
stepbrother, and baby half sister -- but she's not going to waste this
chance to steal her father back.
