Thirteen-year old Katie is facing a summer full of conflict. Her dad wants her to be a baby-sitter for a couple who have three very imaginative boys and to help care-take an elderly couple who just need someone there when the husband needs to leave the house. Her family has moved a lot and she misses a girl-friend from her former city of residence as well as feeling pretty much like a "loser." Katie's step-mom is as supportive as she can be of Katie and agrees that her dad can be pretty strict but that he loves Katie very much. This is a novel of a teenager growing up, finding out who her friends really are, and coming to terms with unexpected consequences. Berg writes a tale of a girl who is wise beyond her years and who learns the importance of forgiveness.
A good read. Sandy Penton
