Patrick and his brother are adjusting to their mother's death. Their father has a new "friend," who has a seven-year-old daughter, and things are getting rocky. Young readers will feel that they, too, are experiencing Patrick's emotional ride: the pure joy of playing with his best friend; stargazing walks with his father; and the awkward dance that is a blended family.
