INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Cohn, Rachel

The Steps

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Annabel travels to Australia to meet her father's new wife and kids, all of whom she resents for "stealing" her father. The story is predictable but packed with humorous incident, life lessons learned, and a litany of preteen-girl touchstones--self-image, friendships, pop culture, etc. Great literature this is not, but it is exactly attuned to its audience; girls will clamor for more.
