(2) 4-6 Translated by Wanda Boeke. After his mother enters a mental hospital and his father goes off with a girlfriend, thirteen-year-old Rits is parked with depressed, neglectful Uncle Corry. Three activities help Rits survive his traumatic summer: writing in his journal, making movies with his video camera, and hanging out with forthright Rita. Rits's matter-of-fact sturdiness and sense of humor make the story funny, buoyant, and moving.
