What Members Thought
Hattie suddenly discovers she has an uncle
she's never heard about when Adam returns
home. But Adam is not just any regular
uncle; Adam, she is told, is mentally ill.
Adam is loud and enthusiastic and repeats
things over and over and quotes continually
from I Love Lucy. And, in addition, Adam
lifts the corners of Hattie's universe.
Recommended.

Another good Newbery stuff. Lack of depth in some parts, probably because the story is too short? But still there are some memorable scenes and I love Adam's character so much!
