Book Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Andi is tired of being a second-class sibling to perfect
sister Laina. There in Laina's shadow, Andi's only noticeable feature is her
pretty awesome hair. And even that is eclipsed by Laina's perfect everything
else.
When Andi’s crush asks her to fix him up with Laina, Andi decides
enough is enough and devises a twelve-step program to wrangle
the spotlight away from Laina. After all, great hair must count for
something.
Step 1: Admit she’s powerless to change her perfect sister, and accept
that her life really, really sucks. OK, maybe that's two steps in one.
Step 4: Make a list of her good qualities besides great
hair. There have got to be at least three good qualities, right?
Step 7: Demand attention for more than just her shortcomings, and
break out of her shell. Easier said that done, but worth the effort in the
long-run.
When a stolen kiss from her crush ends in disaster, Andi finds that
her prince isn’t as charming as she'd hoped, and realizes she may need a new
program--perhaps with less steps!
As cracks in Laina’s flawless façade begin to show, the sisters work
together to find a spotlight big enough for both to shine.

About the Author:
As the second of eight children
and the mother of four, Veronica Bartles is no stranger to the ups and downs of
sibling relationships. (She was sandwiched between the
gorgeous-and-insanely-popular older sister and the too-adorable-for-words
younger sister.) She uses this insight to write stories about siblings who
mostly love each other, even while they’re driving one another
crazy. When she isn’t writing or getting lost in the pages of her
newest favorite book, Veronica enjoys knitting fabulous bags and jewelry out of
recycled plastic bags and old VHS tapes, sky diving (though she hasn’t actually
tried that yet), and inventing the world’s most delectable cookie recipes. TWELVE STEPS is Veronica Bartles's first novel.
