Read how it all began in this official novelization based on the TV show. In Nobody's Perfect, Matt has his eye on a new girl, Lucy's trying out for cheerleading—with Mary trying to stop her—Simon's attempting to become invisible, and Ruthie's just scrambling to keep up. There's never a dull moment for America's favorite TV family.

Big sis Mary seems to have it all she's practical, super-smart, beautiful, vivacious, and a rising star on her school's basketball team. But underneath her perfect exterior, sixteen-year-old Mary is struggling to figure out boys, friends, parents, and life in general—not to mention her younger sister Lucy!

As the oldest kid in the Camden clan and a college freshman, handsome eighteen-year-old Matt often bears the burden of playing referee between his siblings and his parents. Sometimes it's tough to balance family loyalty against a fierce desire for independence, but Matt has earned his reputation as the "responsible one." Well, most of the time, anyway...

There's no greater feeling...than the love of family! Sometimes being the middle girl in a big family is a tight squeeze—just ask Lucy Camden! It can be kind of tough when your older sister is a beautiful, popular basketball star and your adorable younger sister has a knack for getting her own way. Dealing with brothers isn't always easy, either. But Lucy is her own person and she's determined to stand out—no matter what!

Simon Camden never gives up. When he wants something, he goes for it, no matter how much work (or begging!) it takes. Sometimes his brothers and sisters get in the way and he feels like his dog Happy is the only one who understands him. But Simon is the first to help anyone in distress, even if it means putting some of his Big Plans on hold . . .

For better or for worse, Mary and Lucy Camden have one thing in common: they're the oldest sisters in a huge, busy family! But sometimes the two of them hardly seem related: strong, independent Mary hangs out on the basketball court while sensitive, impulsive Lucy loves the mall. And when there's a cute guy involved, it's all-out war!

Lucy and Mary are definitely up to something, but the rest of the family is so busy they don't seem to notice—except for sharp-eyed Simon, who's got a big surprise in store for his older sisters!

Lucy has a secret that if revealed could create havoc in Mary's life, but Lucy is not sure how long she will be able to keep quiet.

People change, and the Camden kids are no exception. But sometimes change can be more difficult than a Camden expects. Lucy wants to be less superficial, so she joins a group that helps others in need. But juggling a social life with social work can be pretty tricky stuff. Meanwhile, Matt's moved out and Reverend Camden is recovering, so Simon declares himself "the man of the house." But with little Ruthie to control, can Simon keep the house from crumbling?

Sisters are sisters, no matter what. But things can change when everyone thinks that one Camden sister is an angel and the other is a total loser. Lucy's flying high with a new driver's license and an invitation to the party of the year. One problem—Mary's not on the guest list. But just because her sister is on the outs, should Lucy have to suffer for Mary's mistakes?

It's a road trip for the Camden sisters! Mary and Lucy are thrilled their parents are allowing them to drive to Arizona to visit with Grandpa Charles and Ginger. Freedom at last, they think, until the car is almost stolen. Unexpected help comes from a runaway teenage girl, whose situation leaves the Camden sisters wanting to help. But how do you help someone who doesn't want to be helped?

Lucy goes to Washington! Her student court group has a date to be shown around the nation's capital for an entire weekend by an important politician. But before Lucy can ask all the questions she's written down in anticipation, she quickly learns that politicians aren't always that easy to get hold of. In the meantime, Simon wants to be an entrepreneur, so he decides to baby-sit for one of Ruthie's friends. But the job becomes more difficult than he ever expected.
