Quirky and dysfunctional family, but gotta love them. Seen through the eyes of a very precocious 11 year old, a memorable story, a page turner!

This book is at turns funny, sweet, and deeply emotional in the best way imaginable. The voice grabbed me from the first page and kept me wholly engrossed. I loved everything about this lovely debut.
