(3) 4-6 When Sammy learns that her absentee mother is getting hitched in Vegas (complicating fallout: Sammy's boyfriend would then be her stepbrother), she teams up with her archenemy (and future friend?!), Heather, to disrupt the wedding. In this sixteenth book, Van Draanen unleashes Sammy's bitterness and anger toward her mom, and the author drops a bombshell: her thirteen-year-old protagonist finally discovers who her father is.
