With her parents newly separated and her mother emotionally unstable, twelve-year-old Alice decides to live in a tent in the backyard. She makes a new friend (who is socially awkward and also a swimmer like Alice) and gains a babysitting charge--next-door neighbor Piper, who doesn't speak. Diehl's thought-provoking story about complex family and friendship dynamics features a unique and memorable cast of characters.
