(4) YA After his mother's death, seventeen-year-old Zachary goes to live with his father, whom he's never met, and his father's family. Thirteen-year-old Tottie never knew that her half-brother existed, and she has difficulty adjusting to his arrival. The narrative timing is awkward in this depiction of a family's growing pains, but Zachary and Tottie's alternating voices are genuine and enjoyable.
