A Sliver of Sun Dianna Dorisi Winget

"Piper Lee is an instantly likeable, flawed character with a good heart. Hand this one to kids who want realistic fiction ... with a dash of excitement."--School Library Journal


10 year old Piper Lee feels like a stranger in her own home. With a princess-like stepsister, and a stepdad who could never lover her, it's no wonder. So when Piper Lee finds out her mom is expecting a brand new baby, it's the last straw. But since neither Piper nor her stepsister want another girl in the family, they form an uneasy truce to try and influence the gender of the baby, resulting in all sorts of unexpected and hilarious hi-jinks.


No matter what your family situation, you'll devour this charming, warm-hearted and piercingly honest story of a brand new family and the misunderstandings, betrayals, and triumps that will either knit them together or rip them apart. From the award winning author of A MILLION WAYS HOME, A SMIDGEN OF SKY, and JUST LEFT OF LUCKY.


"A Sliver of Sun is heartwarming and fun, and at times harrowing for Piper Lee. She's a spunky kid you can't help but root for."--John Bladek, author of Lost in Ghostville
