Tanya, I added the description. As the author you are able to edit parts of the book record as well. :-)
I don't know exactly but here's what the help page says:"To edit book or author information, navigate to the book or author's page, then click on the 'edit data' link which is found in the lower right side of the box containing the book or author's information."

Twelve-year-old Pablo Jones is homeless.
Well, not literally homeless. More like homesick. Displaced. Disoriented.
Ever since his father left—his mother—a zoologist, has been dragging him from one side of the world to the other. With every new time zone, new country, new city, Pablo loses more and more of himself. By the time they move to the Philippines, it feels as if a completely different Pablo has taken over.
Pablo the clean freak.
Pablo the germaphobe.
Pablo the boy who doesn’t want to see or do anything.
His life couldn’t possible get any worse. But it does.
Way, way worse.
His mother agrees to temporarily foster a young Filipino child—a girl they’ve nicknamed Chiqui.
Chiqui the slob.
Chiqui the human petri dish.
Chiqui the girl who wants to see and do everything.
At first Pablo wants nothing to do with her. Yet somehow, life seems to get better when she’s around.
Way, way better.
But for how long?
Chiqui’s only a foster child. Eventually Pablo is going lose her. Just like he lost his father, his friends, his real home back in California.
Is there something he can do about it? Before it’s too late?
Maybe.
But he’s going to have venture outside his comfort zone.
For Chiqui.
For himself.
For the home he so desperately wants to find again.
