Lucy Wu, as mentioned, and Erica Perl's O.J novel. There are also a number of MGs where the grandparent comes to stay for a while (Trauma Queen) and acts as a wise mentor. It seems to be easier in MG (and perhaps in life) to have grandparents act this role, rather than the actual parents.<br /><br />Thanks for the review, Shannon!Michael G-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947421844294471304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945626570622121439.post-9313059348907133102012-01-23T21:23:23.441-07:002012-01-23T21:23:23.441-07:00It sounds like a great book for siblings!

And, I agree with Akoss; your synopsis of it reminded me of <i>The Great Wall of Lucy Wu</i> -- except in that book it's the grandmother who moves in.<br /><br />Don't they say there are only about seven themes in the whole world?
