I loved this book! It is about a young girl who does not get much attention from her very odd family. She has a talent for spelling and does well at the school spelling bee. She begins to develop a relationship with her father that was never there before. He mother is going through a personal crisis as is her brother. It is all about family dynamics this is certainly a dysfunctional family. An excellent read...I would love to read another book by Goldberg.
This book is delightful to read for an adult. Struggle for mom and dad and sister and brother in a small town. What appears to be a novel for a young audience has scenes of sexuality sprinkled into it. Therefore, it is not for the very young, who would ask a parent about masturbation and fellatio. The ending is sad, we never find out, if mom comes home from the hospital for the mentally ill.
