Octavia Boone's Big Questions About Life, the Universe, and Everything

185 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4491-8 $15.99
(4) 4-6 When her lawyer mother decides to leave her job--and, seemingly, her sanity--for a cultish evangelical church, seventh-grader Octavia (who has synesthesia) must cope with her new life. Octavia's voice is unconvincingly naive and oddly sophisticated at the same time. Nevertheless, her chatty narration may draw readers into the dramas of her family and her small, close-knit Vermont town.
