Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Candice Phee is on a mission to make everyone happy. With a fish in crisis, a dimension-hopping friend, family feuds, and a sick mom, her journey is anything but ordinary. Can her unique methods restore harmony and joy to her chaotic world?

From the publisher

Candice Phee isn’t a typical twelve-year-old girl. She has more than her fair share of quirks, but she also has the very best of intentions and an unwavering determination to make sure everyone around her is happy—which is no easy feat when dealing with a pet fish with an identity crisis, a friend who believes he came from another dimension, an age-old family feud, and a sick mom. But she is on a mission. Her methods might be unique, but Candice will do whatever it takes to restore order to her world and make sure everyone is absolutely, categorically happy again.
