(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Aislinn's biggest dream is for her dad to stop drinking. Instead of hanging out with her best friend and dreamy Mike Mancinello, Aislinn cares for her younger siblings and worries about her mom, pregnant with baby number six. Though it ends on a naively optimistic note, the 1960s-set novel presents a realistic and hopeful portrait of life with an alcoholic parent.
