Book Descriptions
for Maybe Yes, Maybe No, Maybe Maybe by Susan Patron and Abigail Halpin
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
PK is a middle sister. She is stuck between Megan, who is almost-a-teenager and has perfect toes and brilliant ideas and hardly any time for PK, and Rabbit, who is five and has a billion questions which it is PK's job to answer. They're all growing up so fast! When Mama announces that they'll be moving to a new apartment, PK feels lost in the midst of all that is changing. Even riding her best friend, Bike, makes her feel only a little better. She is worried about Rabbit, who worries too much, worried about Bike, and, most of all, she is worried about how the magical hamper stories she got at the old apartment will reach her at the new one. "You have drama in your blood, PK," her mother tells her, and PK likes the sound of that. But she has to believe it before changes aren't so scary after all. PK is an original. (Ages 8-10)

the jam in the sandwich
Sometimes that's how PK feels, squeezed in between her supersmart older sister, Megan, and her superadorable younger sister, Rabbit -- especially now, with Megan almost a teenager and becoming impossible, and Rabbit worrying about going to kindergarten. Why can't people stay the same?
But there's an even bigger change afoot: Mama has decided they should move to a larger apartment. How can they leave behind the big blue chair that's almost like a member of the family? But maybe, just maybe, in a new home PK can find out what makes her as special as her sisters.
