(2) 4-6 At thirteen, Andi's passion is basketball; the arrival from the Philippines of her older eight-foot-tall half brother Bernardo is mostly a distraction. Gourlay's light touch allows the relationships to develop and the story to be revealed delicately, layer by layer. It's a complex yet highly accessible and engaging novel that lends itself to discussion both of concrete topics and abstract ideas.
