The Truth about Twelve

171 pp. | Boyds | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-59078-291-7 $$16.95
(4) 4-6 Lindy lives in the only rundown house in a ritzy suburb and concocts elaborate lies to hide the fact from her classmates. She also has a dark secret, which she can forget only when playing softball. The truth about her past (her baby sister drowned) is revealed at an agonizing pace; the resolution, by contrast, seems abrupt. Lindy is presented realistically, character flaws and all.
