(2) 4-6 After nineteen-year-old Gage and eleven-year-old Ari leave their overbearing guardian's home, they scramble for a place to stay. Ari hopes to earn a place at a school for gifted students, but keeping up with schoolwork becomes problematic. She seeks comfort in her Paper Things, an ideal family cut out of catalogs. This poignant view of homelessness deftly shows how easily it can happen.
