Rachel has theories about a lot of things – how she ended upwith humongous beaver teeth, why tourists who visit Miamiwear such ugly clothes, and why her father loves her identicaltwin sister, Rebecca, the most. Still, there are many things inRachel’s life that even her best theories can’t really explain.Why, for instance, does her grandmother insist on feeding herhoney cake every Sunday, when everyone knows it tastesdisgusting? Why did Rachel end up with the most ancient fifthgradeteacher in the school, a woman with amoeba-shapedstains under her arms? And why is Rachel always in trouble,unlike Rebecca?In humor-filled prose and pictures, Nicole Rubel introduces usto a remarkably off-the-wall family – a father who sells noveltymaracas for a living, a mother who is so gorgeous evenorangutans fall in love with her, a sister who is a perfect genius,and scattered Rachel – struggling to find her unique talent andself-confidence.
