INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Aurora Franklin's tics, sensory issues, and compulsive behaviors have long worried her mother. An impending visit from the now-adult Heidi (protagonist of So B. It) brings up Aurora's anxiety about her mother's devotion to this stranger from the past. Next, a house fire displaces the family, throwing Aurora's insecurities into stark relief. Aurora is a likably quirky first-person narrator in this moving exploration of family, love, and forgiveness.
