(2) 4-6 In this surprisingly funny novel about family, friendship, and death, outgoing Olivia helps her friend Hal with his plan to drive away his almost-stepfather. Their attempt misfires and results (they think) in chasing off Hal's mother. Olivia's singular personality comes through in her direct-address narration. Parkinson has an ability to sensitively depict young survivors as they move beyond loss. Glos.
