Bookroo's summary

Grace and her dad, Davy, are inseparable, forming the perfect team after her mom's passing. But when Dad starts dating, Grace fears their bond is at risk. With her best friend, she launches Operation: Stepmom Shake-Up, a series of pranks to keep their duo intact. Yet, as plans unfold, Grace wonders if a new family dynamic might be just what they need. Can a little chaos lead to unexpected harmony?

From the publisher

Grace + her dad, Davy = Team Gravy. No way is a new stepmom going to break up this team. . . . Filled with reverse Parent Trap-like pranks, The Stepmom Shake-Up is a hilarious and heartfelt look at what it means to be a family. Grace + Dad = the perfect team After Grace’s mom died, she and her dad grew extra close. They have special nicknames and are always busy with new projects–like building a puppy condo for their dog, Potus–and they love learning random facts about the US presidents. Grace thinks her little family of two is perfect. Then some committee members at church suggest it’s time for Dad to start dating again. And Dad agrees! Grace knows that adding a new member to the team will end in disaster. No problem! She and her best friend have a plan: Operation: Stepmom Shake-Up But what if a little shake-up is exactly what Grace’s family needs?
