In this sequel to My Big Sister Is So Bossy She Says You Can't Read This Book, ten-year-old Effie's best friend transfers to public school, her bossy sister becomes a religious fanatic, and her mother lets an old friend (a priest having a crisis of faith) move in. Spirited Effie's narration is amusing in this heartwarming book.
