Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks, by Lauren Myracle
In Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle, fifteen-year-old Carly returns home to Georgia from a summer camp in Tennessee and finds that she is sick and tired of her family's usual wealthy and overprivileged life. She wishes for a more common and real lifestyle where everything is not just handed to her. In addition to this, her younger sister Anna is starting high school and has gone from being a cute, little girl to a curvy, more beautiful young lady over the course of the summer. Things turn strange and awkward for Carly because of her sister, especially at school. Because of all this, Carly feels alone and as though she is unable to be as comfortable with her sister as she was before.
Sisterly love is the main theme of this book. Carly and Anna's relationship is put to the test upon Anna's "transformation" over the summer. I thought that the book was well put together and that it came to be very deep and touching while reading it. I give this book a 10/10 rating and would recommend it to all who would like to relate to a struggle and adventure of sisters.
