Author: Monique Bucheger
Publisher: True West Publishing
Release Date: March 18, 2020
Genre: Middle-Grade Contemporary Fiction
Twelve-year-old BFF’s Ginnie and Tillie, want to be sisters. Tillie’s divorced mom plus Ginnie’s widowed dad could equal a lifetime of round-the-clock girl talk and slumber parties. Too bad Dad vowed to never marry again. Ginnie and Tillie form a secret club. They come up with the perfect mission to change his mind: ‘Operation Secret Sisters’.
Before long, Tillie seems happier about gaining a dad than a sister. Ginnie suspects that Tillie has turned ‘Operation Secret Sisters’ into a scam called ‘Operation Steal My Dad.’ Things get more complicated when Ginnie stumbles across her real mom’s hidden journals. Ginnie can finally get to know the mother she doesn’t remember and Dad doesn’t talk about.
When Dad discovers she has the journals, he takes them away. Ginnie needs to figure out what the big mystery is before her relationship with her father and her best friend are ruined forever.

GUEST POST with MONIQUE BUCHEGER
Top Ten’s List of Secret Sisters Facts
1) Secret Sisters Club was written AFTER Trouble Blows West
2) Heart of the Wests (Ginnie’s home) is a real place in Ohio.
3) The blonde girl on the cover (Gracie–who is modeling for Ginnie) lives in the real West Farmhouse.
4) The brunette girl on the cover (Jessie–who is modeling for Tillie)–is Gracie’s cousin in real life.
5) There are real goats, chickens, cattle, dogs, cats, turkeys, ducks on the real West farm–but NO horses.
6) Queenie West’s (Ginnie’s mom) personality is based on Gracie and Jessie’s grandmother. Gracie looks very much like her–just as Ginnie looks like her mom.
7) I spent a lot of time at the “real Wests” farm–as a teenager–babysitting the kids that lived there–especially Gracie and Jessie’s dads–and their aunt.
8) Gracie and Jessie’s cousins grew up on a different farm I mention in the books: Chandler’s Crossing–Toran and Ginnie’s friend, Austin’s home. 🙂
9) Gracie and Jessie’s grandpa and grandma were my 4H leaders as well as my friends.
10) I raised a lamb named Appomattox (because I was fascinated with the Civil War) on the real West farm and showed it at the fair as a teen.
