(3) 4-6 In 1959, twelve-year-old Camille lives in a suite inside a prison where her father is the warden. There's a busy, multi-strand plot; the driver of the story is Camille's hunger for a mother (her own died when Camille was a baby). The characters don't always ring true, but Spinelli's gift for humorous chaos and his trademark magic-realism touches are showcased.
