This was a very pragmatic reading decision: find more YA that is tween appropriate. This fits. Sister dynamic, move from NY to country, older sister beautiful and gifted dancer, younger sister is protagonist and more lost, jealousy and unhappiness, a little romance for the younger, real romance for the older, some friendship dynamics, some mom-stuff. So, YA and yet no sex, no drugs, no violence, nothing too intense. Gentle realistic. And ugh I was bored and just ready for it to be done.Summary: Katie and Michaela are ballerinas, sisters, and best friends whose relationship undergoes significant changes when their family moves from NYC to small town Fir Lake.I had some problems with this book as in I didn't really like Katie, the main character and narrator of the book. I don't know if this is because I also moved in high school and am an older sister more like Michaela or if I wouldn't have liked her anyway.I did enjoy the description of ballet but I found Katie's attitude so
Katya, a.k.a. Katie, and her sister Michaela Wilder are sisters and best friends that were born and raised in New York city. They study ballet and their best friends do the same. Katie is 14 and going to be a freshman in high school, Michaela is 17 and going to be a senior.

The parents decide to move the family to

The Year My Sister Got Lucky by Aimee Friedman was a novel about two sisters that lived in New York and had a really good relationship. What really attracted me to the book was that the older sister Michaela, all of a sudden changed once the family moved upstate. Sounds like a typical situation where one of the sistes changes, and then the other doesn't like it. Though the difference with this novel was that everything that happened was unexpected. Katie, the younger sister is her point of view
Have you ever moved and felt out of place?Have you tried to fit in?The year my sister got lucky, is a book you can read when you are trying to fit in with the people around you after you move.Its about a girl who's life changed when she moved from the big city to the country.
I like the depth each character showed. The author did a good job with her idea, and she demonstrated a of knowledge in the things she wrote about (i.e. ballet, New York, etc.) There were no stereotypical characters, country kids are as snobby and cliquey as anyone unlike the popular cliche, and she delved deep into the sweet relationship of siblings, and how sometimes (okay most of the time) this relationship goes awry. I liked the hobby that "grounded" our heroine. Instead of just being some
