The most fun I've had in a while. A completely dysfunctional group of people who are somehow also completely charming. All the references the characters make comparing themselves to people in "old fashioned" stories were hilarious. Absolutely a must read. It's 157 pages. You can read it in a day. Or less. Just do it. 
 Warning - if - like me - you are a Lois Lowry fan - this is a departure - don't be afraid. It's OK.
