Sinopsis

Best-selling teenage author brings more laughs and shenanigans with book two in her hilarious middle-grade series, BBLS.áA smothering mother, an alien brother, TV-stealing grandmas, a purple puppy-is anyone normal in rascally nine-year-old AaliyahâÇÖs family? Sibling rivalry has met its match with the hilarious hijinks from this big brother-little sister duo, sure to delight readers with one ridiculous situation after the next. áááShe doesnâÇÖt mean it but whenever nine-year-old Aaliyah Harper does anything, utter madness ensues. Couple that with a stifling mother who calls her The Baby, two trouble-seeking grandmas, an alien brother, and a family road-trip vacation and itâÇÖs a recipe for disaster. What could possibly go wrong? Humor, mischievous capers, and family drama permeate The HarpersâÇÖ Holiday Horror, the second book in the Big Brother Little Sister middle-grade series from bestselling teenage author Elena Southworth.áWritten in an engaging rotating character entry style, the story finds Aaliyah and her family getting ready for a memorable Grand Canyon vacation to celebrate Thanksgiving and, especially, 'The BabyâÇÖs' ninth birthday. (Also known as 'the day to honor the most special, most perfect, most angelic, innocent creature that has ever existed in all of history!' according to AaliyahâÇÖs over-the-top mom.) áBut this time? Aaliyah is on a mission-The Matthew Making Theory mission-to find out the truth: if her brother is an alien put on earth disguised as a human teenager in order to pick on his unsuspecting little sister. áNot everyone is thrilled that the Harpers will be traveling with their two motorcycle-riding, heavy metal fan grandmas, Agnes and Pearl, as well as MatthewâÇÖs girlfriend DelaneyâÇÖs family, the Emersons-least of which the Emersons themselves who, from unfortunate experience, think all of the Harpers are 'weirdos.' And for siblings Matthew, Aaliyah, and twenty-one-year-old Camille, being stuck on a three-hour car ride with their crazy family is nothing short of misery.áAaliyahâÇÖs innocent escapades somehow land her hiding in a hotelâÇÖs dirty laundry cart, being locked in an ice-skating pondâÇÖs bathroom, accidentally dying Grandma AgnesâÇÖs new puppy purple, finding her family on the evening news after 'borrowing' a river raft, witnessing her two grandmas swiping a fire truck to take out on a joyride (only to have to bail them out of jail), requiring multiple police responses in less than twenty-four hours, and having the hotel manager say they are 'the most annoying family' he has dealt with in twenty years after giving them the boot from their room.áWell...thereâÇÖs always Christmas, right? After a calamity of a bug-infested, owl-residing Christmas tree cut fresh from the forest by their exasperated dad (since the Harpers are banned from the hardware store), the family instead, celebrates the holiday in their living room at the foot of a festively decorated...cactus?! áAaliyah may be troublesome and a magnet for mayhem, but her eccentric family knows adventure and humor will follow.á
