(2) 4-6 Molly and her sister are sent to their grandparents after their mother's death and their father's emotional retreat. Things take a sidestep into magic realism when Molly discovers the kind, gentle, invisible-to-everyone-else "hunted man." In sixty short chapters Nicholls handily weaves myths and classical stories into Molly's everyday, middle-grade doings to create an unsentimental and detailed portrait of a grieving family.
