Smaller Sister

Maggie Edkins Willis

Lucy and her older sister Livy have long been close, but their relationship changes after the sisters begin at a new school.

After another move, Lucy confronts body-image concerns and cruel comments from classmates, while renewed conversations with Livy provide support.
