Synopsis: "Had anyone ever asked Louise Branford if her parents should get divorced, or is anyone asking her now if her father should remarry? Certainly not. And to make matters worse, Louise has to cope with her stepmother's klutz of a dog. How Louise deals with a father who suddenly closes his door at night, a mother who's a soap opera star, a step-mother who wears black basketball sneakers, and a Golden Retriever who prefers her breakfast to his own -- along with the normal concerns of most twelve-year-olds (like a certain eigth-grader with the initials R. B.) all make for an enjoyable story.
