(4) YA Ninth-grader Lacie Johnson faces the challenges of adolescence--changing friendships, emergent sexuality, first love--under the shadow of her father's recent suicide. Her unpolished first-person narration echoes the turmoil felt by her family in their daily struggle toward a false normalcy. Though many of the supporting characters are one-dimensional, author James develops a unique protagonist in Lacie.
