Sugar Shack - (Peapod Farm) by Lucy Knisley (Hardcover)

About the Book

It's winter at Peapod Farm with Jen still learning a lot about living life outside the city, and with her stepsister Andy, she'll have a chance to understand what it means to be family.

Book Synopsis

In the final volume of the bestselling Peapod Farm series, a city kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop is settling into her new place in the family--only for unexpected drama to strike between sisters.

"Understated and full of heart."--Kirkus Reviews

Jen couldn't be more excited to spend time on Peapod Farm with her stepsisters, Andy and Reese. For months, Jen has been so focused on trying to figure out how she fits into her new blended family that she hasn't realized she's found her place... that is, until Reese calls her "sister."

Excited and content, Jen thought she had figured everything out, but now she's not so sure. A rift emerges between the girls as Andy doubles down on being Reese's ACTUAL sister, while Jen is just the STEP sister. With Andy's attitude bringing a cold front to the farm, it seems like it's going to be a long winter.

Maybe between Peapod Farm's first snow and learning how to tap a tree for sugar at winter's end, Jen and Andy both will have a chance to truly understand what it means to be family.
