Mary Lou Finney keeps a journal over the summer — her cousin Carl Ray arrives from West Virginia and turns everything upside down, and she's reading the Odyssey for school and finding it disturbingly relevant, and boys are suddenly a thing. Creech writes with a warmth and humor that makes the serious things — grief, identity, what family actually is — land without weight. The most genuinely funny book on this shelf and the one that trusts its reader to find the meaning without having it underlined. A summer journal that is quietly one of the most honest accounts of becoming a person.
