(2) 4-6 When Holly's family moves, she decides to remake her image--as well as that of her family--and tells her new seventh-grade classmates that her two mothers are actually sisters. Garden convincingly delineates Holly's ambivalence toward her parents, and the book's problem-novel aspects are well balanced by the more general theme of a kid's desire to fit in and be liked.
