(3) 4-6 Though more of a character study than a novel, this gentle story set in rural Appalachia deftly captures a twelve-year-old girl on the cusp of discovering her own potential. As Chili gradually recognizes the contradictions that surround her, including the poverty and nobility of a friend and the cruelty and generosity of a teacher, she comes to a new, liberating vision of home.
