(1) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Hillary's peripatetic, hippie-holdover parents decide to housesit in California for nine months--the longest stay anywhere in Hillary's memory. Koss artfully sidesteps the predictable and crafts a truly original piece of fiction brimming with humor and insight. Hillary's smart, lightly ironic voice controls both the narrative and the probing introspection of her journal entries.
