Bookroo's summary
Rex's world is turned upside down when her parents adopt a baby. Fearing she'll be forgotten, Rex devises a plan to be the perfect big sister. But as she dedicates herself to this new role, her friendship with Pinky begins to suffer. Can Rex find a way to balance her desire for attention with her loyalty to her best friend? As she navigates this new family dynamic, Rex must decide what truly matters and how to keep her world from unraveling.
From the publisher
Rex’s parents are adopting a baby, and Rex doesn’t like the idea at all. Suppose her parents are so busy with the new baby they forget about her? So she comes up with a plan. If she can be the perfect big sister, her parents will have to pay attention to her. The trouble is, being the perfect big sister is a lot of work, and it doesn’t leave time for much else – like her best friend, Pinky.
