Just Another Day in My Insanely Real Life by Barbara Dee


Twelve year old Cassie's life flips upside down. She loses her nice big house, swimming after school, her A's in English and her best friends. Oh, and one more thing: her father moves away.


Whether she likes it or not, the responsibility of taking care of her siblings is thrusted into her hands. While her mother is at work (which is pretty much all day) Cassie has to shop for food, make dinner and take care of her little brother, Jackson. Of course, her teenager sister, Miranda, never helps out. She's too busy studying for chemistry at her best friend Madison's house and giggling about Adam Klein. Mr. Mullaney, her English teacher, doesn't appreciate the effort Cassie puts into her work. Why should Cassie even try? To top it all off, her best friends are turning into really nasty people.


Maybe, Cassie's life will come back together. She's already partway there with a boy that might like her, a new friend that might not be as bad as she thought, and a novel she is writing with daring adventures.


Will Cassie ever know what made her dad move away? Will her life ever be the same again? Find out about this poignant, funny, sweet girl as she makes her way through her insanely real life.
