#BookReview: The Stepmom Shake-Up by Niki Lenz @NikiRLenz

Synopsis: After Grace's mom died, she and her dad grew extra close. They have special nicknames and are always busy with new projects-like building a puppy condo for their dog, Potus- and they love learning random facts about the US presidents. Grace thinks her little family of two is perfect.

Then some committee members at church suggest it's time for Dad to start dating again. And Dad agrees! Grace knows that adding a new member to the team will end in disaster.

No problem! She and her best friend have a plan: Operation Stepmoom Shake-Up! But what if a little shake-up is exactly what Grace's family needs?

Reverse PARENT TRAP-like antics offer a hilarious and heartwarming look at what it means to be a family.

My Review: This was a great little story that reminded me of the Parent Trap.  I loved the fun loving story and the cover.  The use of a parent being a minister worked well.  I didn't feel like the book preached at the kids so I would feel comfortable recommending this one to everyone.  The story would make a great movie and I think kids will have a fun time reading it.  I know my 9 year old did.
