INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Wiersbitzky, Shannon

The Summer of Hammers and Angels

(4) 4-6 Delia was barely hanging on already, but when a lightning strike lands her mother in a coma, Delia is left on her own to bring their ramshackle house up to code or face eviction. She learns to rely on small-town neighbors--and faith--rather than foundering on her own. Although the dialogue can be stilted, the book's message of community and cooperation is strong.
