This Isn't about the Money

(4) 4-6 After her parents are killed and she's disfigured by a drunk driver, Janey and her perky, unharmed younger sister, YoYo, move to California to live with their grandfather and great-aunt. Janey copes with intergenerational conflict, insecurities about her appearance, and inexpressible grief. Although the novel's flashback ending is abrupt, the characters and their relationships are well developed.
