Everyone's given up. Dad keeps burning pizzas, and he doesn't smile
anymore. Sally wears only black now and has a terrible secret. Conor
plays the drums all night and keeps the neighbors awake. And the dog,
Sparkler, hasn't been walked in months. And that's not even counting how
terrible things are at school.
But Mimi isn't one to give up.
John Newman has crafted a novel both touching and comic--a portrait of
loss, compassion, and the power that comes from sticking together.
