Are Sparkles Really a Bad Thing?

William Cummers has a little problem. His dad has finally found love again and his sister-to-be, Kate, is a mischievous devil (or pixie, as she prefers). He has few real friends and gets decent grades. His life is almost completely average and he loves it.

The problem is: Mandy, his stepmother-to-be. She's the blemish that threatens to completely crush who William is. She doesn't understand him and doesn't want to. She wants to change William "for the better."

But that's not going to work for William, so he's going to fight back. In all the ways a broke, impulsive, lazy, rude, underage boy can!
