Emily is a teenager and her father is remarried. She 'hates' her step-mother, Andi. Her sister, Sophia, adores her. And, of course, her father, Ethan loves her. Her mother is a drunk and really pays no attention to her daughters, and all Emily does is act out.
Then something happens that turns everyone's life upside down and inside out.
This is a story that spans a journey of nearly 7 years. And in that time, we see how these characters grow and develop into individuals and as a family.

This is a book my whole family remembers with fondness from when I was a kid. The pictures are fun, and the story is straightforward and funny with a heartwarming ending. Most of the words will be very easy for early readers, and a couple of the more unfamiliar words they should be able to sound out with a little adult help.

Liberty Boston (93 KP) rated Cleo and the Creeperific Mummy Makeover (Monster High Diaries, #5) in Books
Mar 15, 2021
She couldn't be more excited about it but upon her arrival, Cleo learns this isn't the mother she remembers.
Are they too different to get along now?
Like with the other diaries in this series there's a big focus on family and friends. Learning how to navigate and balance relationships.
Cleo is really known for putting on a confident mask-she is the school's queen bee- but reading this book you really get inside her head and see what goes on in there.
Again, zero complaints about this book!
Edit: actually, I disliked that this marked the end of the OG Monster High
