Twelve-year-old Violet Crane is an
only child in a lonely household who longs to be part of the gregarious family
that's just moved in next door.
With a mother struggling with anxiety, a father who recently moved out, and no
siblings to commiserate with, socially awkward Violet Crane feels like she is
starting middle school with less going for herself than that of your average
kid.
When the rambunctious Walker family moves in next door, Violet can't help but
wish she could become a part of their household--everyone and everything seems
so normal compared to her own.
After she meets them, Violet falls in love with all five Walker siblings and
especially with Mrs. Walker, who is nothing like her own mother. Violet and
Reggie, the black sheep of the Walker family, find that they have an easy
understanding of each other, and it doesn't hurt that they are in the same
grade at school.
But then Violet overhears a conversation between Reggie and his mother in which
she tells him that she doesn't feel like Violet is an appropriate friend.
Violet is devastated until she faces a truth--no person, family or friendship
is perfect--and realizes just how lucky she is.
