Stepping Stones is a book about a family, and their relationships. I can totally relate this to my life, because my brother is super-annoying, but yet, he is super-fun to play with. The cover and title gives a giveaway - life really is many "stepping-stones." Sometimes, people take the wrong way to the other side - a way that you might sink in. To be honest, I go to the wrong way, and often! So, don't be a coward, and start off a new book - Stepping Stones!!
its an amazing book! its about this girl who was from the city and her mom wanted to live in a farm but her dad disagreed and her mom and dad seperated. and her moms "boy friend" is kinda rude to jan (the moms dauter who is the main character) and the moms boy friend has broked up with his wife to so he brings his dauthers to live in a farm for a while and the sister and step sister have a hard time getting alonge but at the end they end up getting alonge....
Jen has now moved from the city to the country. She doesn't really like country life, but now when her mom' s mean boyfriend and his kids come to live with them, she doesn't like it at all. Except, maybe she can make friends with the girls and stand up to the mean boyfriend. I give this book 3 stars. It is a graphic novel.
