Sibling rivalry, with a worm-sized twist

Maggie’s sister keeps taking over the moments that matter to her, so Maggie imagines a drastic solution: turning her into a worm. The fantasy brings a comic trade-off into focus: a worm cannot steal birthday attention or a favorite bus seat, but also cannot join in play, family weddings, or summer-camp s’mores. The setup gives sibling jealousy a playful shape while keeping the sisters’ bond in view, including the frustrations and companionship that come with sharing family life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering sibling rivalry or family sharing
  • Families looking for a picture book about sisters and jealousy
  • Young readers who enjoy humorous, imaginative family stories

Book overview

A pitch-perfect tale of sibling strife and over-the-top antics in the vein of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

What do you do when your sister steals your thunder? You turn her into a worm, of course.

Worms don't pop your birthday balloons. They don't "help" you open your presents or prematurely blow out your candles. They don't steal your favorite seat on the school bus!

On the other hand, worms can't play with you before bath time. They can't be your sidekick at family weddings, and they definitely can't make s'mores with you at summer camp. Plus, they're REALLY easy to lose.

If Maggie isn't able to turn her sister back into a human, she's in for a lifetime of parental blame and worm-hunting. There may be only one thing left to do... Are two worms better than one?

This hilarious picture book captures the bond between sisters--the good, the bad, and the worm-y--with deadpan humor and surprising warmth. The perfect read for anyone who has to share the spotlight with a sibling
