The Three Rules of Everyday Magic

(4) 4-6 Kate stopped playing music when her depressed father walked out on them; meanwhile, Grammy, who has Alzheimer's, has moved in with Kate and her mom, and Kate's best friend has abandoned her. The "magic" of the title is simply the importance of giving without expectations. Despite a contrived plot, the realistic depiction of a parent with severe depression fills a gap in middle-grade shelves.
