(3) YA Orca Currents series. After their father's death, their mom becomes depressed, and twelve-year-old Max finds himself taking care of his older brother Duncan, who has some unspecified special needs. Reluctant readers will be drawn to the sports story (Max plays hockey) and will easily engage with the family's difficulties and the believable bullying conflict in this well-written novel.
