Heart breaking, poignant, amusing, poetic. It's pretty impossible to describe this book with just one word. It has all the elements that make me (a normal fantasy reader) enjoy a realistic fiction story. Lucille might not have magic powers, but damn this young lady is impressive. Taking care of her little sister after her mom skips town, struggling to pay the bills with her father gone because of his own mental health problems, and trying to make sure that no one knows her parents are both gone so they won't land in foster care.
