As far as Tori is concerned, there is just one major problem in her life: she is the only girl in a family filled with annoying older brothers. As if she doesn't already have enough to worry about, Tori's teacher assigns the class a project in which students must write what they love about their family members. But just when she feels most hopeless, she receives a very unexpected surprise…and realizes that maybe her brothers aren't so bad, after all!
