 I'm now 3 for 3 with Gabrielle Zevin! A sharp, funny, truthful tale, alternately told by three generations of family members and another concerned in the story. Fast moving, included one-side of an email pen pal exchange, and a clever choose-your-path format (with two choices crossed out) for the final section. "When you have little...you learn to take care. When you have much, you must accept that you could someday have little. To take care of something is to love it." Highly recommended.
