Meet Charise.

She's energetic, helpful, a model pet owner and full of inventions.

But she's also a bad sister. When she goes too far and breaks little brother Daniel's tooth, can she redeem herself? Is an accident really an accident if you could have stopped it?

But most importantly... What does it mean to be a good sister?

Reviews for Bad Sister

[...] The story takes a resonant dive into the insular world of children, especially siblings. --Publishers Weekly Cathartic proof that childhood provides lessons for a lifetime and that change is possible. --Kirkus, starred review Harper makes it clear that despite the angst, Charise and Daniel have an unbreakable bond, and she deftly conveys the sibling dynamic: One minute the two are squabbling, the next they're secretly finding a way to communicate through the walls after bedtime. --School Library Journal, starred review
