Out of Order by Betty Hicks

The book is about a family that is slowly falling apart and changing. The parents have divorced leaving the children "In the Pits." Now their mother has remarried to a man who her children don't like. If there is any up-side they love their new step-brother. He's funny, and likes doing anything and everything they like. Though, everywhere they go something goes wrong. Everything really is "Out of Order."

The book is enjoyable. Though, it is very difficult to follow. The storyline is constantly jumping from one character to the next. Also, from format to format. First it's Vy in story format, then it's "Mudboy" in Diary format. So if you want to read this book be prepared for a "shake-up"
