New Beginnings(Wattys2015)

For Ashley Collins, the life she has in England couldn't be more perfect. She has two amazing friends, well-liked in her current surroundings, and she has a fabulous wardrobe. Everything changes, however, when her parents break the devastating news to her: she has to live with her uncle for an entire year. Now, this isn't even the worst part- he lives on a different continent and has 10 hormonal teenagers in one house.

Ashley soon experiences the calm before the storm, when she's fed up with her cousins after a single week. How in the world is she going to survive an entire year with these troublemakers? Putting a girl who isn't the "attached" type in a house with an abundance of mischief doesn't bode well with her or her future plans. She now has to deal with the obnoxious relatives, the reckless parties, and neighbors who need to respect boundaries.

So, what really happens when you add all these things together? You get mayhem and a whole boatload of drama.
