      About This Book

      Why can't Sam's family behave like normal people?

      Samantha Slayton worries about everything. Like her height (tall), her feet (big), and Brian Finnegan. Not to mention being forced to go to dancing school. It doesn't help to have a mother who's a poet, a father who's a mathematician, and a brother who wins prizes for his paintings. The final blow comes when Sam's mother makes a scene at the parent-child basketball game and really embarrasses Sam. Sam begins to wonder: can she trade in her family for somebody else's?
