The Pistachio Prescription by Paula Danziger
Cassie Stephens is thirteen, mousey and asthmatic. She's fed up with having to look after her little brother, being teased by her older sister, and ignored by her parents, who don't seem to stop rowing. The only thing that helps her to survive is her addiction to pistachio nuts - somehow they always make her feel better. But as the pressures of home and school mount, even the pistachio nuts don't seem to help...
The author has a sympathetic eye for the ups and downs of her characters and a quick ear for adolescent conversation* HORN BOOK *

Paula Danziger was born in Washington DC, because, her parents said, 'In that way no state could disown her'. A short while later the family moved to New Jersey where they remained, except for a brief time spent on a farm in Pennsylvania. Previously a teacher, Paula's first book, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, was published in 1974. Since then she has written more than twenty books, including the bestselling Amber Brown series with Tony Ross. Paula lives in New York City, but spends a lot of time in London, when she isn't travelling the world. She likes reading, being with friends, shopping, playing pinball and putting stickers on everything.
