(3) YA After Mazzy's sister dies, her mother becomes too depressed to get out of bed and her father moves out. In denial, Mazzy tries to fend for herself, spending her days chatting with neighbors, snowing the social worker, and creating artwork. Though unremittingly bleak, Ellis's spare novel is a fascinating portrait of a family rent by grief, misplaced blame, and mental illness.
