About the story |
Hattie is looking forward to an uneventful summer in 1960. Unbeknownst to her it will be anything but. An uncle Hattie never knew existed moves in and she has to make sense of his ‘mental problems,’ mood swings, odd behaviors and her grandparent’s embarrassment of him. Will she be able to do that before tragedy strikes? |
My opinion |
Fearing she might be like Adam makes Hattie’s acceptance of Adam very commendable. Family acceptance is a very powerful theme of this well written book. A 2003 Newbery Honor Book. |
