It's not that Shelley has anything against her relatives, she just can't stand it when they give her that "what a pity" look. It's not her fault that her real mother walked out on the family or that her father has remarried yet again--WorldCat
At a family reunion, Shelley comes to terms with her parents' divorce, her mother's absence, her new stepmother, and being the "stable" member of her colorful family--Portion of hardcover back

First Sentence
"It began when we found out that our new summer house had an old bomb shelter in the backyard, and my brother, Angus, decided to sell time-shares in it."
Work Description
(Gr. 6-7+ 11-12 yrs+) When the invitation to the Preffyn family reunion arrives, interrupting a perfectly decent summer vacation, 15-year-old Shelley Wollcott is anything but enthusiastic.
With her father away on business and her older sister visiting their mother in Paris, Shelley must face the "perfect" Preffyns' reunion with only her prankster younger brother and her insecure new stepmother at her side. It's an opportunity to uncover the family's secrets, but Shelley isn't sure whether, when she discovers the truth, she'll laugh or cry.--BkCvr
In this funny and poignant novel by Caroline B. Cooney, Shelley learns to appreciate all the members of her unusual family...including herself!...in ways she never anticipated. And she discovers things are often not as perfect as they seem.--from Hrdcvr
