(4) 4-6 The story of Antonia shepherding her brothers through foster care while their mother is hospitalized for clinical depression could have been well nuanced, but framed as it is around the antithetical peer counseling relationship between nerdy, poor Antonia and wealthy, punk-dressing Jazz, it verges on melodrama. Still, lively situations and the very likable girls sustain interest to the end.
