(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Ember's losses--material and emotional--are poignantly portrayed in this tale of a family victimized by arson, probably because they practice Wicca. Ember's relationships with her siblings and her desperation to keep the family's homelessness a secret as they spend their summer living in a vacation campground are utterly convincing. Dooley's balance between the pain of poverty and the pull of hope is exquisite.
