Illustrated by
Christine Davenier.
In her second book, Navy brat Piper's optimistic outlook never flags, even with changes afoot. This appealing Navy family is loving without being cloying, strong without being perfect, and optimistic without seeming unbelievable. The black-and-white illustrations are as down-to-earth as the Reeds and move the episodic story along without intruding.
