(4) YA Elvira's father takes off to compete in an Elvis impersonator competition. Her pregnant mother follows suit, dragging Elvira and her little sister to meet their estranged grandmother. Quirky characters abound, as do revelations about the intricacies of family relationships. The novel has its charms, but the intriguingly messy family dynamics are tied up too neatly in the end.
