Anyone who has a sibling knows that’s not always picture-perfect. No one gets along all the time, but in Story Spinners, Kennedy and Devon are about to have their biggest sisterly argument yet.
In this new graphic novel by Cassandra Federman, sisters Kennedy and Devon don’t always get along. Kennedy is older, neater, and sick of sharing a room with her younger sister, Devon, who’s loud and messy. But when their baby sister moves in and cries A LOT, it causes a major argument between Kennedy and Devon, who can’t stand this loud new addition to the family. When their parents take away all their electronics until the girls can get along, the only thing they have left is each other and their shared desire to soothe their baby sister so she’ll fall asleep and stop crying.

They decide to tell her a bedtime story so epic that it lulls her to sleep AND gets them out of trouble. But their story styles clash, Kennedy is more into fairytales and Devon is all about excitement and adventure. But it turns out, their combined storytelling styles might just create the ultimate bedtime story filled with princesses and dragons, lady pirates and suspense, and even a garbage truck.
Story Spinners
The Princess Bride meets Raina Telgemeier’s Sisters in this middle grade graphic novel about two sisters who must put aside their differences to soothe their new baby sister with the best bedtime story ever, proving to their parents—and each other—that they can get along.
Big sister Kennedy and little sister Devon couldn’t be more different. Their shared room has a clear divide down the middle. On one, musical theater–loving Kennedy keeps things tidy. On the other, heavy metal fan Devon looks like she lives in an exploded toy store. When baby sister Eve moves in, her contribution is crying. Constant. Ear-piercing. Crying.
The added stress pushes the older girls to their breaking point, and they get into their biggest fight yet. In response, Mom and Dad crack down, seizing all beloved electronics until Kennedy and Devon can find a way to get along. Now stuck together with no distractions except Eve’s screaming, the two land on a desperate solution: tell Eve a bedtime story so epic that it puts her to sleep and gets her big sisters out of trouble.
Pizza aside, the only thing the girls have in common is their love of stories. But Kennedy’s fairy tales make Devon want to barf, and Devon’s nonsensical adventure stories make Kennedy want to tear her hair out. So they try to mash-up a story of true love, adventure, princesses, pirates, pirate-princesses, dragons, spiders, and…garbage trucks?
That’s a lot of story to spin. Will their hilarious fairy tale remix solidify their sisterly bond or break it forever after?
