(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Jake's only family is his widowed mom, a limitation he feels keenly when a broken leg lands her in the hospital. When his barely known grandfather comes to stay, the boundaries of Jake's family begin to expand. Set at Christmastime, this is a quiet novel peopled with adult characters; the burgeoning relationship between Jake and Granddad is believably and poignantly drawn.
