Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
Lily's father has been sent to jail, and her family has moved into a small apartment, leaving six-year-old Lily with a lot of changes to get used to--a missing father, starting a new school, sharing a bedroom with her mother. Lily is a sympathetic narrator, and the short novels are involving, realistic, sometimes funny portraits of a family going through a particularly stressful period.
