From a Newbery Award winner, "a boy who has lost his mother . . .and a girl who has a mother and moves out to get away from her. . . .Elegant and memorable." ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review) Nine-year-old David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger out on his grandmother. Sarcastic and bossy thirteen-year-old Primrose lives with her childlike, fortuneteller mother, and a framed picture is the only evidence of the father she never knew. Despite their differences, David and Primrose forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping each other deal with what is missing in their lives. This powerful, quirky novel about two very complicated, damaged children has much to say about friendship, loss, and recovery. "Funny, startling, and touching." — Booklist
