(1) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Tiger Ann Parker wishes her parents would be more like Aunt Dorie Kay, who has a fancy job in Baton Rouge. But Tiger's parents are "different"--some say "retarded." After her caretaking grandmother dies, Tiger moves in with her aunt, but begins to miss her parents' ways that, while not glamorous or book-smart, root her to home and to herself. Holt never resorts to over-dramatization or sentimentality in developing her uncannily credible characters.
