Willa likes certain things to be certain       ways. Her socks have to be soft . . . and definitely       can't have irritating tags on the inside. She loves the       crunch of popcorn and nachos . . . but       is grossed out by the crunch of a baby carrot. And       slimy foods? Those are the worst.         Willa can manage all these things - but there are some things       she can't deal with, like her father's big news.       He's been keeping a big secret from her . . . that       he's been dating the mum of Willa's best friend Ruby. Willa does       NOT like the idea of them being together. And       she does NOT like the idea of combining families.       And she does NOT like the idea of her best friend       becoming her sister overnight. Will she go along with all of       these changes? NOT       if she can help it!
