Described as "equal parts heartache and hope" ("O: The Oprah Magazine"), "The Box Children" is a thoroughly original and charming--but never sentimental--portrait of coming of age in the heartland of America.

Another tough read about a family with difficult relationships. This story written in the form of a child's diary has a deep feeling of authenticity, like it was written from the heart by child who doesn't quite understand her mother or her father or her brother or anyone else really.
A week of tragic tales. I tell you, if Rowling kills off Harry tomorrow, I'm foreswearing books.
