(4) 4-6 Addy is convinced that her father's death from cancer and her mother's impending remarriage, not to mention her social humiliations at school, are the result of a family curse. Addy's comic-strip journal, inserted throughout the text, places heavy subjects in a lighter context. Despite some clunky exposition, the book's typical preteen concerns are balanced by genuine emotion.
