One for the Murphys is a book that has remained with me the moment I read the first chapter. Lynda Mullaly Hunt captures the authentic voice of middle school age Carley Connors and is able to communicate the emotions of the protagonist as we witness the transformation of this tough, yet fragile girl. Fans of realistic fiction books like Blubber and The Great Gilly Hopkins will enjoy this powerful story.
