(2) 4-6 Annabelle's mother is a hoarder. When an enormous pile of old newspapers comes crashing down on her sister, the repercussions force Annabelle to confront the ways in which her family is psychologically "broken." This accessible novel taps into common themes (uncertain friendships, impatience with parents and younger sister), but it most particularly explores the psychology of hoarding and its toll on a family.
