(4) 4-6 Compulsively neat Destiny thinks she can't possibly be related to her scientist mother, poet father, or slobby little brother. But Dez's best friend, Jil, really is adopted, and when Jil begins a relationship with her birth mother, Dez is afraid people will get hurt. Although sprinklings of pop culture references interrupt the narrative flow, Hicks effectively communicates Dez's hopes and frustrations.
