This is the second book in the series of Life Lessons & Tales of Little MisFit. The first book, Life Isn't Always What It Seems, is the winner of the Fall 2020 Pinnacle Achievement Award in the Young Adult genre and the Top Ten Finalist for the 2021 Author Elite Award in Middle Grades/Children's Category. Book 1 also has more than two dozen five-star Amazon reviews (including a UAE book newsletter). One reviewer said that the book is "for the child in each of us." Another: "It's a laugh-out-loud, fun read." Most reviewers indicated that they cannot wait to read book 2 in this series. The life lesson in book 2 is: "Life Isn't Always Fair." This book is written for children, young adults and adults who are young at heart along with those who have found themselves to be a "MisFit" at some point or situation in their lives. In Book 2, Ivy Sue (Little MisFit - LMF) learns that "Life Isn't Always Fair," when she is punished by her teacher for doing something that she did not do. The teacher tells her that she had probably done things before that she didn't get punished for and that it's time she learned the lesson that "Life Isn't Always Fair." LMF decides to use humour to get back at her teacher and from her tales and antics, we see how she learns to handle this important life lesson. Through challenging and unfair situations, LMF shows us that it's possible to move forward in life and learn to make the best of most situations and opportunities that come our way, even when "Life Isn't Always Fair!"
