(3) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Cooper's mother sleeps too much; she also neglects meals, hygiene, and her children. A doctor's prescription helps for a time, then things get worse. When Carly, Cooper's seven-year-old sister, runs away, searching for her imaginary world called Inchland, Cooper must take action and get help for the family. Plausible and realistic, Mills's story about mental illness never resorts to melodrama.
