INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Schumacher, Julie

Grass Angel

(4) 4-6 Frances decides to stay home in Ohio with her eccentric aunt for the summer while her mother attends a spiritual retreat in Oregon, taking Frances's beloved little brother, Everett, with her. Much emotional turmoil ensues--camp is a disaster; Frances worries that her mother won't return--and then Everett runs away. Despite uneven pacing and overstated themes, this first novel is still engaging.
