After helping at the laundromat, Twig decides to open her own solo business doing odd jobs in her community, but soon she finds herself in over her head, with too many commitments than she can handle on her own.

"Speaking up can be super hard. Just when Twig thinks she's finally found a new best friend, Angela's former BFF, Effie, comes back to town. And to Twig, Effie is anything but friendly. With Effie hogging the spotlight and Angela's time, Twig has never felt so alone. And while Twig's little sister, Turtle, can be a lot of fun to hang out with, she doesn't replace a best friend. Then Grandma comes to visit, bringing with too much clutter and too many strong opinions for the tiny house, and it all becomes too much. Will Twig be able to find her voice without hurting anyone's feelings?"--OCLC.

"Lately, Twig's been having a tough time. Her best friend is too busy to hang out with her. And then she isn't picked for a special dinner with her favorite pop star. It's all so unfair! When Dad realizes Twig is feeling low, he tells her a way to take the sting out of rejection. You go out and look for ways to be turned down. The more you do it, the less it hurts. Soon, Twig and her whole family have turned hunting for nos into a fun game. But are some nos just too hard to face?"--Publisher.

Convinced that this will be the perfect summer, 12-year-old Peyton finds her life taking a dramatic detour when she becomes obsessed with finding the driver responsible for the hit-and-run accident that left a (cute) boy in a coma.

"In their tiny house, the rule is Twig and Turtle are each allowed to have five toys. But with a new toy store opening in town, the rule is creating a big problem--getting a new toy means giving up one they love. But when the girls realize that the owner has very old-fashioned ideas about who should play with what kinds of toys, changing her mind might be the biggest problem of all"--Provided by publisher.

"The tiny house is too loud! Twig's participating in her school's read-a-thon, but it's hard to concentrate with Dad watching TV and Turtle trying to blow gum bubbles or showing off the tiny house to curious passersby. And when Twig's classmate Matteo starts logging more reading time than her, she's desperate to get back her lead. But how do you make alone time in a family that's so squished together?"--Provided by publisher.

Eight- and six-year-old sisters Twig and Turtle are excited and curious about their new small town in Colorado. And for their cool, tiny house! Their family is united in living more simply, and not stressing out the Earth's resources. But the move comes with a major problem: How do you fit a Great Dane in a tiny house?"--Provided by publisher.
