For one city-kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop, it seems like its finally time to find her place in her new blended family while settling in for the winter! Cozy up to the final volume of the heartfelt and acclaimed Peapod Farm series!

Jen couldn't be more excited to spend time onPeapod Farms with her step-sisters, Andy and Reese. For months, Jen has been so focused on trying to figure out how she fits into her new blended family that she hasn't realized she's found her place... that is until Reese calls her sister.

Excited and content, Jen thought she had figured everything out,but now she's not so sure. A rift emerges between the girls as Andy doubles down on being Reese's ACTUAL sister, while Jen is just the STEP sister. With Andy's attitude bringing a cold front to the farm it seems like it's going to be a long winter.

Maybe between Peapod Farm's first snow and learning how to tap a tree for sugar, Jen and Andy both will have a chance to truly understand what it means to be family.

"This realistic and relatable story of tween growth by an established adult comics artist is sure to be popular with fans of autobiographical cartoonists such as Raina Telgemeier." - The Horn Book, starred review

"Funny, sweet, and real, Stepping Stones reminds readers that, when families change and grow, taking those first steps together can be not just challenging but rewarding." -Jennifer & Matthew Holm, New York Times bestselling authors of Sunny Side Up & co-creators of the Babymouse series
