(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Phoebe and her mother are homeless, and their possessions are collected in a single suitcase. When Phoebe loses the suitcase, Mama bottoms out emotionally and sends Phoebe to live with her grandmother at Full Moon Lake, where she fears Mama has abandoned her. Johnson's spare prose, which appears as verse, is poetic without straining. Its lyricism makes more bearable this novel's many heartbreaks.
