The Karris Family

About the Book

Leah Karris doesn’t know how to cope with the changes in her family. Her teenage siblings and busy parents don’t get along at all. Leah herself deals with bullies like Zoe Hawk and tattletales like Angela Hartman, but the worst difficulty that she has to deal with is her own family. When she goes to visit her aunt, uncle, and cousins, she decides to make her family as good as her cousins’. Leah tries hard to fix her constant family fights, but she soon understands something important that she hasn’t realized before. Will Leah succeed? Or will things be as horrible as before? Will they continue being the disconnected Karris Family?
