Gr 4—6—Becca Battoe brings Judy Blume's characters to life in this story (Atheneum, 2002) about divorce. Told from Karen's pre-teen point of view, the story explores a family's experiences before, during, and after the parents' separation and ultimate divorce. Adolescent listeners going through a similar experience might find solace in relating to Karen, her older brother, and her younger sister. However, others may quickly tire of listening to the bickering between the parents and Karen's relentless whining.—Cathie Bashaw Morton, Library Media Specialist, Millbrook Central School District, NY
