She knows the drill. Her brother's banjo band is praised while no one acknowledges Sister's bongo skills. Sister does the grunt work, but Brother gets the credit. But this time, the blatant injustice has gone too far. This time, America's Famous Nothing has been granted the incredible power of choosing the family pet. And what does he choose? Certainly not a dog, the pet Sister has begged and pleaded for HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE--a pet the whole family could love. No, Brother chooses a bearded dragon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSister is outraged. The picture of injured dignity, she refuses to acknowledge the creature's existence. It doesn't matter how much it stares at her or bobs its head to her bongo-ing, Sister is unmoved. Then, adding insult to injury, Brother gets to go to summer camp, leaving \u003ci\u003eSister\u003c\/i\u003e at home to take care of \u003ci\u003ehis\u003c\/i\u003e disgusting lizard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSister refuses to suffer in silence.

To her surprise, Brother's letters in reply reveal camp may not be everything he thought--and as their correspondence continues, the two siblings begin to find common ground.
