(3) 4-6 Rejected by her mother in a divorce custody case, twelve-year-old Leah is living with her father, failing school, and making her new stepmother's life as miserable as she can. The friendship of an understanding boy turns things around. Sensitive and finely observed, this slowly unfolding story of a girl's return from a dark place paces its revelations for maximum drama.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
