    <![CDATA[Sharon Creech explores the hopes and longings of an introspective middle child from a boisterous Italian clan in this humorous, character-driven novel. Leo's family calls him &quot;Sardine&quot; because the quiet twelve year old often finds himself sandwiched between his more outgoing siblings. One rainy day in the attic, he discovers his father's teenage journal. In it, he reads that his careworn parent used to dream of being a dancer, a writer, a famous athlete, just like Leo! He also discovers a photo of his father's family that includes an unfamiliar girl in the background. Could it be the mysterious Aunt Rosaria no one speaks of? As he tries to untangle this family mystery, he is also preparing for his school play--a tale of an old man whose life is revived by weaving his childhood memories into stories for his neighbors. How can Leo convince his father that, like the old man in the play, he needs to talk about Rosaria to heal the hole she left in his life? Through the parallel dramas of the play and his chaotic home life, Leo begins to understand the importance of stories and our need to share them, whether they are treasured memories or future dreams. Creech includes the full text of the play, <em>Rumpopo's Porch,</em> in the back of the book. Middle grade fans of <em>Project Mulberry</em> by Linda Sue Park or <em>The Liberation of Gabriel King</em>&lt;/I&gt; by K.L. Going are sure to enjoy this heartfelt, thoughtful read. <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Sharon Creech explores the hopes and longings of an introspective middle child from a boisterous Italian clan in this humorous, character-driven novel. Leo's family calls him &quot;Sardine&quot; because the quiet twelve year old often finds himself sandwiched between his more outgoing siblings. One rainy day in the attic, he discovers his father's teenage journal. In it, he reads that his careworn parent used to dream of being a dancer, a writer, a famous athlete, just like Leo! He also discovers a photo of his father's family that includes an unfamiliar girl in the background. Could it be the mysterious Aunt Rosaria no one speaks of? As he tries to untangle this family mystery, he is also preparing for his school play--a tale of an old man whose life is revived by weaving his childhood memories into stories for his neighbors. How can Leo convince his father that, like the old man in the play, he needs to talk about Rosaria to heal the hole she left in his life? Through the parallel dramas of the play and his chaotic home life, Leo begins to understand the importance of stories and our need to share them, whether they are treasured memories or future dreams. Creech includes the full text of the play, <em>Rumpopo's Porch,</em> in the back of the book. Middle grade fans of <em>Project Mulberry</em> by Linda Sue Park or <em>The Liberation of Gabriel King</em>&lt;/I&gt; by K.L. Going are sure to enjoy this heartfelt, thoughtful read. <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Leo's papa stood in the doorway, gazing down at him. &quot;Leo, you make gold from pebbles,&quot; and the way he said it, Leo could tell that this was a good thing.</p> <p>He may have been given a bit part in the school play ... but Leo dreams he is the biggest star on Broadway.</p> <p>Sure, his big, noisy family makes him feel like a sardine squashed in a tin ... but in his fantasy he gets all the attention he wants.</p> <p>Yes, his papa seems sad and distracted ... but Leo imagines him as a boy, tap-dancing and singing with delight.</p> <p>That's why they call Leo &quot;fog boy.&quot; He's always dreaming, always replaying things in his brain. He fantasizes about who he is in order to discover who he will become. As an actor in the school play, he is poised and ready for the curtain to open. But in the play that is his life, Leo is eager to discover what part will be his.</p>]]>
