The Trouble with Brothers - Julia Denos
Getting even...
Fair and square!
IT’S KARA’S TURN TO HOST THE SLEEPOVER Squad’s latest party, and she couldn’t be more excited! Then her annoying brothers get wind of the event and promise to ruin the party unless Kara agrees to be their slave. Oh, no! Poor Kara is running herself ragged trying to keep up with her rotten brothers’ demands without letting her pals find out.
But when Kara’s friends discover what’s going on, they tell her to relax. After all, no matter what those creeps do to them, these girls know something the boys don’t: Sometimes getting even is better than getting mad!
You’re invited to another Sleepover Squad Party!

Kara was sitting on a bench outside the ice-cream parlor. Two of her best friends, Emily McDougal and Jo Sanchez, were sitting beside her. Their other best friend, Taylor Kent, was hopping back and forth over a crack in the sidewalk. Taylor wasn’t very good at sitting still.
