(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Benny's mother leaves because his father collects all manner of so-called treasures. But collector is a euphemism; Benny's dad is a paranoid hoarder, constantly fearing someone will steal his stuff. A too-quick resolution is outweighed by Klise's strong portrayal of a child coping with adult issues beyond his control. Klise effectively tempers Benny's disgust with his father with his love for the man.
