Please, Louise!

Written by: Frieda Wishinsky and Marie-Louise Gay

First line: Louise never left her brother Jake alone.

Why you should read this book: A little sister intentionally torments her older brother, taunting him with their unbreakable bond when he tries to get rid of her. At the end of his rope, Jake wishes Louise could be a dog, and for a moment he's terrified that his wish actually came true, and he begins to appreciate his sister. Then he realizes his sister is still a human, the dog belongs to a new neighbor, and his sister, no longer lonely, has ditched him.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You're estranged from your family by choice.
