Welcome to the Sisters Club, where life is never quiet and drama is always on the menu. Twelve-year-old Alex is a born actress who treats every day like a stage performance. Eight-year-old Joey is a homework-loving pioneer wannabe who marches to the beat of her own drum. Caught right in the middle is ten-year-old Stevie, the practical glue trying to hold her two wild sisters together. Living in a family with a long line of actors means their house is filled with creative dinners, stolen lucky sweaters, and plenty of theatrical squabbles. As Alex becomes totally obsessed with the leading man in her latest play, Stevie and Joey have to figure out how to keep their sisterhood strong amidst the chaos. Told through a playful mix of Stevie's narration, Alex's scripts, and Joey's hilarious notebook entries, this warm and funny story captures the true dynamics of growing up with siblings. You will love this highly entertaining look at family, loyalty, and learning how to share the spotlight.

In the Reel family, everyone has a specific role. Alex is the born actress who loves the spotlight, while middle-sister Stevie is perfectly happy staying behind the scenes. But when the upcoming school play is announced as a musical, Stevie realizes she might be tired of always being the sensible one. Since she is the best singer in the family, she decides it is finally her turn to step onto center stage! There is just one huge problem: Alex is not about to let her younger sister steal the lead role without a fight. Soon, the dueling divas are locked in a fierce competition to see who will be cast as the Princess, with their little sister Joey eagerly cheering on the chaos. Has Stevie broken the ultimate sister code by going after what she wants, or is Alex the one being unfair? Dive into this funny, heartfelt chapter book about sibling rivalry, big dreams, and finding your own voice. You will love watching the Reel sisters navigate the drama of middle school theater and the even bigger drama of living under the same roof.
