If I have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince?
by Melissa Kantor
This
witty novel by second-time author Melissa Kantor sees life through the
eyes of Lucy, a teen stepdaughter who moves to the east cost from San
Francisco after her dad's marriage. With her father often far away on
another coast with his job, Lucy navigates the hazards of twin 12 year-old
stepsisters, dueling romances, a new school and a stepmother she can't
relate to. Lucy's love for artwork helps her survive the social minefield
of high school on Long Island, and she dates a heart-throb “prince” who
doesn't really know her. Teen angst melds with this Cinderella story of
clashing cultures for a modern-day update. She finds out that Prince
Charming may not come on the most popular horse, that her new friends have
more staying power than she thought, and her stepmom and stepsisters are
not all bad. Teens will find Lucy's story interesting and see echoes of
their lives today. The book includes references to teen drinking and drug
use, an unfortunate reality at many teen parties today. This is Kantor's
second novel. |

The Not So Wicked Stepmother
by Leslie Allgood Venable
For ages 4-8. Sisters Maria and Olivia cope with the divorce of their
parents and their dad moving out. Maria and Olivia must deal with all the
strains that come with Dad moving out - adjusting to a visitation

place, and watching their dad start to date. When Dad announces that he is
getting married again, the girls worry that his new wife will be like the
wicked stepmother in the fairy tale Cinderella. They find out that their
new stepmom is not evil. If you are divorced and getting ready to date,

Chelsea's Tree
by Marcy McCann
Through the story of Chelsea and her family tree, this interactive and fun
little book helps children visualize how many people are part of their
families and care for them. This can be especially helpful for children in
blended families who have a wide assortment of relatives and
step-relatives involved in their lives, and the book can help
them acknowledge all of these special people. The book includes original
illustrations and looks like a small photo album. It can hold 4" x 6"
photos. Photos, drawings, and small treasures
can be added to the book's blank pages by the child. These pages are meant to be
interacted with, written on, and treasured! Appropriate for children under
age 10. |
