Chronicle In Favor Of Books Eggs
Nine-year-old David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger out on his grandmother. Sarcastic and bossy 13-year-old Primrose lives with her childlike, fortuneteller mother, and a framed picture is the only evidence of the father she never knew. Despite their differences, David and Primrose forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping each other deal with what is missing in their lives. This powerful, quirky novel about two very complicated, damaged children has much to say about friendship, loss, and recovery.Rating Out Of Books Eggs

Very good book for young kids. It has some tough hurdles for them to work through.Reading a story where the two main characters are supposedly friends, yet treat each other so horribly, isn't my idea of a good time. Primrose was especially nasty (I had a childhood friend whose father had left the home and whose mother was an alcoholic, always passed out on the couch when we went to visit - she was a nice girl, so can't figure out the reasons P was so nasty, despite the book trying to imply it was because of her home situation) and David needed some severe discipline to remedy
This book was a lovely reminder to my uterus that I never want children. A heartwarming tale that made absolute sure my womb was closed for business. Truly capturing the essence of being a kid, that I want to never witness firsthand. Wonderfully enlightening on just how terrible being a guardian to a child-devil can be. #proud2bgay
It was SUCH A CUTE BOOK! The ending didn't really close up the book, but it left happy thoughts of what will happen to the main characters in the future.
DNF at 42% through. The book was ok, but it wasn't enough for me to continue reading.
