This book is about a brother and sister named Carlo and Terry. Terry is Carlo's older sister but she acts different than he does. She is mentally challenged. Carlo gets frustrated with his sister because she can't always do things right and the other kids make fun of her. One day Carlo and Terry decide to go to the mall to find their Grandmother a present. Terry found a powder puff doll that she really really liked. Carlo wasn't sure that his Grandmother would like it but he got it anyway so they could leave because everyone was staring. When Terry had to go to the bathroom Carlo let her go by herself and told her where to go. Time went by and it had been a while since she had been gone. He went to look for her but couldn't find her. He started thinking about how mad his parents would be and how upset his Grandmother would be if he had lost her. Then he began to think of some of the nice things she had done for him before and he began to get worried that she was alone and scared. When he finally found his sister he had mixed emotions and wanted to be mad at her but couldn't because she was safe and with him again. After that day Carlo appreciated his sister more and even played outside with her more.
