Peace, Love and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle

I wish I had a sister. I have an older brother and he was okay, but I always wished that I had a sister. Peace, Love and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle is a story about sisters.

Carly returns home from a summer volunteering with a wilderness experience in Tennessee. While there she begins to feel that there are things that are more important than her small affluent Atlanta neighborhood and the ritzy private school that she and her sister attend. Carly is a sophomore and is excited to start the school year with her younger sister Anna as a freshman. But when Carly returns home, Anna has grown up. Suddenly Anna is beautiful! She has developed amazing curves and has a body that boys drool after. Now Carly is jealous of her younger sister and she finds herself at odds with Anna. Anna enjoys her wealthy lifestyle while Carly wants to live a more bohemian life. This puts her at odds with Anna and with her best friend since 2nd grade and even her parents.

Carly is an honest narrator as she struggles with her beliefs. When a new boy starts school, Carly develops a crush on Cole and she tries to figure out how he fits into her new belief system. Throw in an out of control party, some baby ducks and a back dive off the high dive and you have a great story about sisters!
