This book is about a girl named Ellie and her five sisters that live in the Appalachian Mountains. She is nervous to become a teenager, and losing her place as the child who is closest to her alcoholic dad. It is told by her point of view and lets the reader go through her growing pains with her as they happen. Susan says: This is a funny little book - it takes place over a full year,and is the story of Ellie, her five sisters and their parents living in the rural Appalachian mountains. Ellie is worried about growing up and becoming a teenager - she likes being her father's 'boy' and being the child who is closest to him. Her father is an alcoholic, and while everyone knows about it, it is different than today's society in that no one does anything about it, other than watch. The whole story is told from Ellie's point of view, but in some ways, even though Ellie is turning twelve at the end of the book, it would be more appropriate for a slightly older reader, who has already been through those growing pains. Sweetly told and concise, it leaves you filling in the gaps and wondering how Ellie turns out. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Not sure of the locale: her father is a disabled miner & they live on a mountain so my first thought was WV, but the later talk of huge snow storm made me think of PA. The time setting is kind of indeterminate also: no mention of cell phones, but other than that I don't think modern youth will feel the book is dated. ( )
