Kathy wished bossy Alyssa Carroll would stop threatening to not let her be a cheerleader (Alyssa's aunt was the judge!). And she wanted Brody Vangaar to stop hanging around their house so much. Wasn't one "brother" enough?

Kathy didn't usually find it so easy to think mean thoughts toward others, but she couldn't help wishing Alyssa and Brody would stop ruining things for her. She hoped no one noticed how she was changing, but the Best Friends knew her too well to not notice. Could she tell them what was really happening, or would they stop being her friends if they knew?

The sixth book in the Best Friends series, Kathy's New Brother is an entertaining story that will help 9- to 12-year-olds grasp the true meaning of friendship and acceptance.
