*Signed Bookplates!*

A heartstring-tugging, uplifting, modern spin on Party of Five -- a love letter to family, hope, and finding strength in unexpected places.


Even though she has six siblings, sixteen-year-old Novah still knows what it's like to feel lonely. Her friends never remember to invite her anywhere because they assume Novah will be too busy overseeing dinner, baths, and homework -- tasks that fall to her when her parents are at work. She wouldn't mind it so much if her "perfect" older sister, Ariana, wasn’t always excused from helping out. She's the star of the volleyball team, and their parents don't want anything to jeopardize the scholarships she'll need to become the first member of their family to attend college.

Needless to say, Novah feels like she's been given a raw deal, especially when she's forced to cancel a maybe-date with her crush, Hailee.

Then one terrible night, their parents don't make it back home. A car accident takes their lives and leaves seven heartbroken kids on their own. The Wilkinson siblings have no grandparents, no aunts or uncles. Since Ariana has just turned eighteen, she manages to convince the judge to give her temporary custody. If she can keep her family running smoothly, they'll get to stay in their home. If not, they'll be placed into foster care.

Novah will do whatever it takes to keep her family together but finds herself in a constant power struggle when Ariana refuses to take her advice, even once it becomes clear that they are all in way over their heads. Will Novah find her voice and summon the strength to do the impossible? Or will she be forced to say the hardest goodbyes of all?

Timothy Q. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate was a lovely bonus, and I’m already tearing up just a few chapters in—the sibling dynamic feels so real and raw. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you finish.

Emma B. ★★★★★

I was so glad to find this had signed bookplates inside—it made the purchase feel extra special. The story’s modern take on family dynamics hooked me from the first chapter, and I ended up reading it in one weekend.

Sofia ★★★★☆

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the story grabbed me—the family dynamics feel so real and messy in the best way. The signed bookplate arrived nicely tucked inside, which made it feel like a special keepsake. Only wish the cover had been a bit sturdier for the price.
