(2) 4-6 Set in Liberia, this story tells of twelve-year-old Sarina, a transplanted American girl struggling to break free of the physical and psychic bonds binding her to her diabetic mother. Told in a lyrical and measured first-person voice, the novel does a fine job of depicting its major characters and meaningfully explores questions concerning human relationships, both forced and freely formed.
