The Year Rozikyn Left

BJ's life is not turning out as planned. Her weird older brother leaves home, leaving his eight siblings and parents confused and angry. Of course, BJ's parents get into a fight over Rozikyn's random departure, and this leads to a catastrophic family feud, one that BJ's stuck in the middle of!

If her parents don't start "liking each other" again, that means they're going to get a divorce. And sure enough, just two weeks after Rozikyn packed up and left, her parents split up, tearing BJ, her baby brother Nelson, and her one older sister, Angeline, off with her mother, while the other five continue to live with their father.

Life gets complicated for BJ, especially since seventh grade is going to be a major flop unless she can stop getting sent to the principals office! Will her barely nineteen-year-old big brother come back AT ALL, or will he just continue to make things worse? And also, what's going to happen to BJ's mom, who's been going out with some jerk that BJ doesn't even like?

Age recommendation: Ages 12 and up
