Two Naomis

Naomi Marie and Naomi Edith have the same first name, and that is where they believe their similarities end. Naomi Marie runs clubs at her local library and takes great pride in being a big sister. Naomi Edith prefers slow, quiet Saturdays spent with her closest friend in her backyard. Naomi Marie's father lives only a few blocks away, while Naomi Edith's mother is an entire country away, which leaves her unsure how to get through an ordinary day.

When the girls' divorced parents start dating seriously, each girl clings to the routines she loves and resists any change. Their parents then enroll them in a class together, and the two must figure out how to cooperate. Along the way they may discover they can work as a team and reshape what family means to them.

This realistic contemporary novel follows two girls as they blend families, grow up, and build an unexpected friendship. It is written for readers aged 8 to 12.
