Have you read lots of stories with orphans? Do you have a sarcastic (maybe even slightly dark) sense of humor? This books has lots to offer you! Lois Lowry makes fun of many of the traditional plots found in classic orphan stories. The four Willoughby children dislike their parents. The parents don't much love their kids. Everyone is plotting to be rid of each other. I guarantee you'll laugh - at least twice.
What did you read this weekend?
