(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old aspiring comedian Izzy's home life becomes complicated with the additions of ten-year-old cousin Oliver and his father, deeply depressed after his wife's suicide; and Ben, the sullen sixteen-year-old son of her mother's boyfriend. Izzy's opinionated voice drives a strong narrative. Despite the pain her characters face, Wittlinger's world is ultimately an optimistic one in which emotional suffering is a real problem, but not an insuperable one.
