Does anyone remember the one? The main character is called Ari, she's around 12/13. She has an older brother and sister who torments her. She meets a new friend who also has an older sister but seems to manage her sister better. Ari goes to the park one day maybe with her dog, and her bike is stolen. She searches for it but doesn't find it. A short time later her new friend has a birthday and in front of Ari is presented with a new bike which is actually Aris bike. It all gets sorted and Ari gets her bike back. When Ari siblings are mean she usually gets upset and cries but she started quoting The Raven to stop herself from crying. She also takes a kimono belonging to her sister that she leaves out for charity, her sister sees her in it and demands she returns it but she stands her ground and wins the argument.

Lots of detail but I can't find it on Google. Any ideas. ?

I think I read it in the early 99's.

@MrsLampard

Thank you that's real strange I asked about another book the other day (I've been inspired by the teen reading nostalgia posts) that was the same author but I didn't realise!
