ODD GIRL IN, by Jo Whittemore (Aladdin MIX 2011)(ages 8-12). Twelve-year-old tomboy Alexis Evins and her older brothers Parker and Nate are known as the "Evil Evins," constantly egging each other on into more and more trouble. Finally, their father has enough and sends them to an extracurricular "character-building" program where, he hopes, they'll learn teamwork and perhaps a bit of responsibility. But this will require Alex to actually make friends and face the world around her...ODD GIRL IN is a light, seriously funny and fun romp. Alex and her brothers are hilarious and genuine as they navigate their way through the CHAMPS program and their sibling rivalries, and come to a greater appreciation of each other and their family.
