Twelve-year-old Annabel thought Christmas break was going to be amazing. Sheâd planned to stay home in New York City with her best friend and do traditional things like go ice-skating in Rockefeller Center, hit the after-Christmas sale at Bloomingdaleâ s, and scream with the TRL crowd at MTV in Times Square. But when her best friend bails, Annabelâs mom decides itâs high time Annabel visit her father and his new family in Australia.
Annabel is not pleased about traveling around the world to meet âthe stepsââtwelve-year-old fashion-disaster stepsister, five-year-old stepbrother, and baby half sisterâbut sheâs not going to waste this chance to steal her father back.
