Home Sweet Home

Emmy Mae is not happy at all when she hears that her cousins Cody, Nick, and Rhino (don't those names sound familiar?) are coming to stay for the summer. Her cousins are weird and act about three years older than they are. This summer will be HORRIBLE.

But her cousin Cody is actually VERY fun! He loves soccer just as much as she does, and he agrees that Rhino and Nick are pure evil. Emmy Mae just might have a new best friend. And after a while, Rhino and Nick turn out to be okay, too.

Her sister Harly is very sick, though, and dies from cancer at the young age of fourteen. Emmy Mae will have to cope with the loss of her favorite sister and her new friends as they head back home. Even the family dog notices the sudden loss of the house's four favorite people.

Will this summer ever get any better, or will Emmy Mae have the worst summer in the history of summers?

There isn't really a certain age for this story. It's just a nice book.
