Cassie Stephens is dealing with a lot: She’s got asthma. She’s running for freshperson class president. World War III is being waged daily in her home, beginning at the breakfast table and ending with slammed doors at night. Her older, shorter, more beautiful sister never ceases to remind Cassie that she is a giraffe. Cassie’s not really sure how it started, but eating pistachio nuts always makes her feel better. No matter how weird it sounds, those little red nuts are just the prescription for Cassie’s troubles.

My sister read the Pistachio Prescription multiple times growing up. I never did, but I thought I should see what it was about. Somewhat relatable story of a girl who has aloof parents and who lives with anxiety. Some of it is cute, but I quit after 60 pages. It was killing my buzz for reading, probably because it was meant for a 12 year old, not someone of my vintage. It is a bit dated too. Changing the cover art for more modern times doesn't help improve that. Anyhoo...
