(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Addison lives in a trailer, never knowing how long her moody, unreliable mom will be gone. Despite a bevy of concerned individuals, Addie keeps her mother's absences a secret. Connor convincingly portrays the protagonist's beyond-her-years resourcefulness and the feelings that drive her to protect the life she has while longing to be part of a "normal" home.
