By the same author that wrote Al Capone Does My Shirts, this is a funny yet touching story of a 12 year old girl, Antonia. that feels like she doesn't fit in her family. Going by the nickname, Ant, she has one older sister and one younger sister and they are both perfect. Ant somehow always manages to get into trouble with her lying and drives her parents crazy. She copes with her situation by pretending that she is adopted and writing letters to her "real" mother. Ant's only friends are Harrison and her dog, Pistachio. When the friends volunteer at the zoo, Ant's lying gets them into a very dangerous situation. In the end, Ant realizes that her mother does love her even if she isn't always lovable.
