Clap, Clap, Clap:
I applaud Barbara Park for tackling this subject. This middle-grade novel is a realistic portrayal of a single parent/only child family caring for a grandfather with Alzheimer's. That's a lot to tackle in one little book. And Park does it with grace and humor, although a few tears may roll as well. My heart broke over Jake all through the book but I was cheering him on at the end. It's not a particularly cheerful book but it will stay with you and mean something to you for a long time to come. In those darker moments I loved Jake's account of reading The Pearl by Steinbeck for a book report. He talked about how depressing it was, etc., which gave me hope that Park knew what she was doing and would be able to end this book in a realistically, yet somewhat cheerful way. She did.
