The Summer We Fell Apart by Robin Antalek - This is a book in the Glass Castle/Running With Scissors/Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius genre. Those were all memoirs, true life stories,though, while The Summer We Fell Apart is fictional. It moves forward through 5 different narrations, which means you'll meet all the characters at the beginning of the book when they are introduced by Amy, the youngest sister in a family of four siblings, then in the following chapters, George, Finn, Kate and Marilyn weigh in with their own chapters. There's something about this unusual family that's endearing, and I loved their voices. It really is about so much more than the summer they fell apart.Saturday, August 14, 2010
