Fifteen-year-old straight-A student Deena's struggle to survive sharing a room with her outlandish cousin Kathy is complicated by the sudden return of Deena's unreliable father, who has had a history of breaking his promises since divorcing her mother
a story about how a flaky parent negatively impacts a child. I'm glad that Deena was able to see how her value stood for itself instead of with the parent. Deena reminds me of my niece in this case and I think this book will help give her some perspective.
