Trying to keep their family afloat during tough financial times, twelve-year-old Ivy's mother has taken in a boarder--an odd boy named Caleb, whom Ivy thinks is a liar. Soon Ivy finds that Caleb has hidden talents, as well as a few secrets. Woodworth's characters, adults and children alike, are well drawn and vivid, and her prose has a storyteller's lilt.
