(2) YA Thirteen-year-old Drew's pet rat, Hum, leads her to Emmett, a runaway on a quest to help his little brother. Drew's first meaningful friendship gives her a deeper understanding of the other relationships in her life. The 1986 small-town California setting is well delineated and fitting, in its remoteness and size, for Drew and her soft-spoken, low-key loneliness.
