After the Fountain kids figure out who really killed their father, the story's suspense takes off but comes to an abrupt, awkward stop when Nonny and Poppy show up to the rescue. I liked Jack, Madison and Smithy's tentative steps towards becoming a family united despite their grief, but the scheming Cheryl seemed too one-dimensional to be believable. Somewhat disappointing. Cooney starts out strong with a disfunctional family of children trying to cope individually with the death of their parents -- their mother to cancer and their father a short time after from an accident caused by their young brother -- the the guardian who seeks to profit from the children's misfortune by putting them on t.v. The teens are well-drawn and three-dimensional but most of the adults are cardboard cutouts. On the whole a good read, but the ending is too pat and abrupt when it comes to solving the children's issues. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Torn apart by tragedies and the publicity they brought, siblings Smithy, Jack, and Madison, aged fourteen to sixteen, tap into their parent's courage to pull together and protect their brother Tris, nearly three, from further media exploitation and a much more sinister threat.

I liked this book. Cheryl is not what you think she is and I enjoyed watching Zach and his siblings try to figure everything out. This is a tense read as you wonder if things will really be alright.
