The Trouble with Family - Heather Hobbs

I was asked to review this book by Librarything.com.

I read this in one sitting and really enjoyed this book which is the first in the series. The author has written this young fiction book based on a real life story and concerns a fourteen year old girl trying to survive the long summer holidays. Molly is the main character and narrator at the same time.

Molly instead of doing the usual things a teenager would do on that endless period of time is to try to help solve the problems of her new step siblings since her mother had died in a road accident a year ago. Just how much more can Molly take?

The story is kind of mad with these strange step kids, a horrid step mother and a father who takes up with this woman so soon after the mother’s death.

All this madness is told in the eyes of a fourteen year old and this is her story. Change as we all know can be really traumatic and Molly appears to be dealing with one thing after another and the message is you can move forward and gain from change.


Well written and I will be looking out for the second book by this new author.
