Headline: Stepsisters, yes. Friends? Maybe ... Diana loves horses. Horses terrify Stephanie. Diana takes pills for her mood disorder. Stephanie smiles a little too wide. Now their blended family is vacationing for the first time since the wedding—at a ranch that only highlights the girls' extreme differences. Things seem hopeless, until Diana discovers caged wolf-dogs and convinces Stephanie to help free them. Though a truce is formed, a herd of unforeseen consequences is soon galloping out of their control. But it might be just what their relationship needs.

      Grades 5-8 Daredevil Diana loves all animals, especially horses, and has to take medication to help her manage her emotions, while Stephanie is quiet and a homebody. Now stepsisters, the girls aren't thrilled by their parents' expectations that they become good friends, but a family trip to a ranch in North Carolina might make it happen. When Diana discovers two penned-up wolves in the forest, she vows to set them free, and surprisingly Stephanie sneaks out to help. The girls soon realize they've done more harm than good, and they must work together to try to rectify the situation. Kline showcases the difficulties of making blended families work without offering pat answers, and the result is a nicely crafted novel told from the two girls' perspectives in alternating chapters. With a little romance and some truly breathtaking scenery, this novelthe first in a four-part seriesneatly covers all its bases.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)

      Stepsisters Diana and Stephanie couldn't be more different. Flung together on vacations with their newlywed parents, the new siblings must figure out their relationship while dealing with drama about animals in the area. Although the dialogue is often too stiff and the plots overly moralistic, the character development of the two girls as individuals facing a difficult transition is well done.
