Meet the Gardella family. Daddy Ray is a respected judge. Mother Kay is on the tail end of a seemingly successful run for Congress. And the readers are treated to a view inside the family through the eyes of twin daughters Kaeleigh and Raeanne. And how does this picture perfect family come across when seen through those eyes?

Two words: Effed up. Not quirky. Not dysfunctional. Completely, hopelessly, unbelievably effed up. So it shouldn't be surprising that their tale is told by the queen of writing about effed up situations, Ellen Hopkins.
