However, her brash cousin Ellie, the Texas Terror, is taking over Noras life. Nora not only has to share her room with Ellie and Fuzzy, her frightening pet tarantula, but Nora ends up having to share her desk at her overcrowded school as well.

This warmhearted chapter book about families doubling up during hard times is timely and engaging.
