This was my first Judy Blume novel, and won't be my last; she's of course deserving of the status she has in YA. Davey is a fantastic protagonist, a 15-year-old dealing with the death of her father and watching the rest of her family trying to deal with it against the backdrop of an unfamiliar town. I really enjoyed spending time with Davey and her trauma felt real and important on top of the usual business of being a teenager--as her mother says in the book, "it's hard to be 15." The only bummer was getting to see glimpses of Davey's normal/home life and then leaving it--I missed Lenaya!
