(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Carmen is tired of moving every year and of taking care of five bratty little brothers instead of pursuing her artistic dreams. After her mother dies in childbirth, though, Carmen learns the real meaning of responsibility. Harness's debut novel doesn't shy away from realistic portrayals of grief and loss, even as it incorporates humor and nostalgia for the 1960s.
