(3) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Pride Star and her two younger siblings are orphans living in remote Minnesota with their grandfather, Old Finn, whose radical political beliefs teach them not to trust anyone. When he's hospitalized, Pride must figure out how to care for the family--and when to ask for help. Against a richly political 1974 setting, O'Connor poignantly explores the indelible bond of siblings.
