This was such an enjoyable book to read. I loved the characters and could empathize with their many dilemmas. Georgie, the main character, has so much drama in her life, like all eleven year olds. She tries hard to make sense of the trauma of families and friends and first loves, like all eleven year olds. She wants desperately to be a good big sister, little sister, daughter, friend, like all eleven year olds. I love Georgie, "Like the Sky."

Positive story of a blended family makes this a delightful read. Georgie grows to appreciate and love her new stepdad and stepsister through a series of events, on being her little sister, Peaches', illness. One sees how a family can work together to create great relationships and a home.

This is a story of Georgie and her “blended-up” families. As she and her sister, Peaches, are becoming used to living in their new home with their mother, new stepfather, and stepsister, they look for ways to stay connected to their father, new stepmother, and friends in their old neighborhood. Things become much more complicated when Peaches becomes very sick and is put into the hospital.

It is a great portrayal of family members trying to make the best of tough situations and make the best choices for one another, while showing that blended families can work together and provide loving homes.
