- W1978111842 abstract "Reviewed by: Ten Ways to Make My Sister Disappear Hope Morrison Mazer, Norma Fox Ten Ways to Make My Sister Disappear. Levine/Scholastic, 2007 [160p] ISBN 978-0-439-83983-9$16.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 3-5 Ten-year-old Sprig is at dagger points with her twelve-year-old sister, Dakota; although they used to be close, as of late Dakota has pushed her little sister out of her life and taken to publicly humiliating Sprig. Add to this frustration Sprig's overwhelming sadness and fear as Dad takes off for a six-week work assignment in Afghanistan, where he'll be building schools in Kabul, and you've got one emotionally saddled little girl. The short chapters of this middle-grades novel effectively develop the characters, emphasizing the day-to-day events of Sprig's world and the way her relationship with Dakota is changing (Sprig's resentment of Dakota's older-kid power is vividly depicted). The episodes are varyingly successful, however, and the love/hate relationship between the two sibs occasionally goes beyond realistically variable to broadly inconsistent; the role-reversal at the end, wherein Sprig gives Dakota advice on making up with her best friend (Don't just keep your feelings to yourself. Other people can't always tell what you're feeling, especially if you don't talk to them), may be an empowering idea but its execution bogs down in didacticism. Struggling sibling relations are common territory for the late elementary/early middle-school set, however, and while this may not be the most graceful presentation, it will certainly be familiar.
