(3) YA When his single mother develops multiple sclerosis, Bobby--a witty, good-natured teen--becomes her primary caretaker. A support group for fellow "young carers" introduces Bobby to some of the carefree youth he's been missing--and to an alluringly gruff boy with secrets. This is an unrestrained portrayal of a heartbreaking situation; dry humor, wordplay, and a shining bond between mother and son lighten the tone.
