Mourning the loss of his mother, nine-year-old David forms an unlikely friendship with independent, quirky thirteen-year-old Primrose, as the two heal each other deal with what is missing in their lives.

---

This book is definitely for the more reflective readers as it focuses on slow character development than the specific interactions between the characters. Both of the characters in this story come from broken homes. With the passing of David's mother and his father constantly being on the road, he is forced into a new life with his grandmother. Primrose, on the other hand, does not know her father more than the single picture she has of him, and her mother is nearly too childish to be counted as a guardian. Because of this, both of these characters are forced to grow up really quickly, with Primrose taking on a big-sister role to David. Many students can find comfort in this book as today's students come from a multitude of family situations. Therefore, I like how this book portrays two different, but also similar, family lives.

Additionally, these characters represent the desire to grow up, while still finding the fun in being children. Sometimes children are forced to grow up too fast, such as Primrose and David, as well as many students in today's school system. They had no say in their childhood being confiscated from them, but they can empathize with these characters and look at them as a mirror of themselves. Students face a multitude of difficulties at home: deaths in the family, parents going through divorce, moving homes, or even getting a new sibling. It is important to recognize that these traumatic experiences happen, and they can navigate through it.

Overall, I enjoy how the story portrays the idea that family does not always have to be chosen by blood relationships. Family is about who is there to support you, comfort you, help you grow, and deal with the difficult times. I believe it is important for children to understand that even if their home lives are not favorable, they can still find a family in their school environment where there is support and growth. By understanding the bond that Primrose and David share, readers can begin to view their peers as a place to find comfort and love, even if those relationships do seem unlikely.

An odd title for a very good story. That's one of the things I love about challenges. They often demand that you to pick up books that you may in all likelihood by-pass. This author has a really good handle on troubled kids and tells the story with both heart-felt compassion for these two but also adds a dash of humor to the mix. The plot has many twists and turns as it slowly reveals more and more about each character. It has an unexpected ending which I can only describe as thought provoking. ( )
