The second book in Jean Ure's Foster Family series. Abi and Sam are going to have a brother. They're not keen on boys, but little Gus is adorable. He's only six, with a crop of carrot red hair - Sam and Abi call him 'the Radish'. Gus is shy and really timid, but pretty soon the girls can't imagine life without him. Then his real mum turns up and spoils everything

So when Anna arrives, little graceful Anna - a budding ballerina, Abi feels sure she'll get right on Sam's nerves - they couldn't be more different, after all. But to Abi's amazement, Sam thinks Anna is great. Anna trains really hard for her ballet and Sam thinks that's cool. From now on it's Anna This and Anna That. And it's not just Sam, everybody thinks Anna is the bees knees. Talk about Little Miss Perfect! Abi is trying really hard not to be jealous, but she can't help feeling left out - is Anna so much better than her?
