recommended for: grades 4-6
status: Read in September, 2008

While this book is somewhat predictable (the ne'er do well Daddy really is ne'er do well ) and the new "step" daddy really has a heart of gold and does the right thing and finally wins the heart of our narrator Billie Wisher, the voice of Billie, an independent, more "innocent" than she realizes young girl who loves her "real" daddy and only wants to believe the best about him, is really genuine and grabs you from the very beginning she matter-of-factly describes her father's role in robbing a bank. I think young readers will be drawn to her honesty and desire to believe the best, even in the fact of the worst.
