(3) YA Star student and gifted trumpet player Daisy is furious when her parents decide they must institutionalize her autistic younger brother, whose increasing violence makes home life dangerous. The difficulty of decision-making is echoed in Daisy's mixed-up feelings about alluring bad boy Dave and Irish exchange student (and fellow jazz musician) Cal. Kehoe's novel in verse is a compassionately told, compelling story.
