Ryan Hart loves to spend time with her friends, loves to invent recipes, and has a lot on her mind -- school, self-image, and family. Her dad finally has a new job, but money is tight. That means changes like selling their second car and moving into a new (old) house. But Ryan is a girl who knows how to make sunshine out of setbacks. Because Ryan is all about trying to see the best. Even when things aren't all she would wish for and her brother is infuriating.
