When their grandfather, Daddy Bo, moves in, Pearl (nine) and Lexie (thirteen) must share a room. Pearl knows she can be a pain, so she comes up with ten self-imposed guidelines to help keep the peace. The story's drama and humor are well balanced. Martin knows the ins and outs of Pearl's demographic, and the nine-year-old's travails will resonate with readers.
