 | Notes from a Liar & Her Dog by Ariadne Meyers, Gennifer Choldenko
Middle child Ant (Antonia) MacPherson feels alternately ignored and over-scrutinized by her family that, aside from her parents, also consists of her older sister Elizabeth (whom Ant nicknames Your Highness Elizabeth ) and baby sister Katherine (a.k.a. Katherine the Great ). Certain that she was accidentally switched at birth, Ant keeps a journal of her life--a journal she plans to share with her sure-to-be-extraordinary real parents. As she waits for her reunion with these birth parents, Ant has a few experiences that help her realize her true place in the world--and her role in her family.
