false 5711749 9 Growing up in a world of wealth and pastel-tinted entitlement, fifteen-year-old Carly has always relied on the constancy—and authenticity—of her sister, Anna. But when fourteen-year-old Anna turns plastic-perfect-pretty over the course of a single summer, everything starts to change. And <i>there are boys involved</i>, complicating things as boys always do. With warmth, insight, and an unparalleled gift for finding humor even in stormy situations, beloved author Lauren Myracle dives into the tumultuous waters of sisterhood and shows that even very different sisters can learn to help each other stay afloat. 5883360 14 5 2009 Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks total:255|5:78|4:88|3:75|2:11|1:3| 255 992 599 93 3 3 false false Thu Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 11:34:55 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 23:23:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 01:53:41 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 01:54:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 11:56:53 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 12:13:58 -0700 2009 Rating: A
