Poppy and Penelope

About the Book

Not that she has a choice in the matter, but what Poppy wants is more room and less sister. When their dog, Sprockets, runs away, and there is a fight over favorites, Poppy and Penelope’s world turns upside down. Something’s gotta give. Little do they know, as they set out to solve their problems together, that they are stumbling upon a secret mothers rarely share: that each set of sisters is born with the promise of friendship. Poppy and Penelope soon see that having a sister as a friend is better.
