Book summary

Nine-year-old Vinnie Matthews is having a hard time coping with the death of her father and frequently finds herself raging out of control. Resentful of her young brother, Mason, Vinnie is also angry that the family has left their home in Washington, D.C. to live with her grandmother in Virginia. Will her friendship with Lupe, whose father is in jail for killing her mother, be her redemption, or will it bring more pain into the lives of both girls?

First Line


"Mason was making monkey faces again. Jumping in front of the TV so she couldn't see the picture. Vinnie felt little bristles of anger begin to scratch away inside her chest. 'Move, Mason. And stop it, right now. Daddy's never going to play it with you ever again.'"



Publisher Notes


Wishing for a miracle that will bring her father back to life and restore her family, Vinnie Matthews protects her younger brothers from the bullying kids who tease him for refusing to speak and finds a needed friend in Lupe. Reprint. H. AB. SLJ.



Synopses


Uprooted following the death of their father, nine-year-old Vinnie and her five-year-old brother, Mason, cope in different ways--one in silence--but both with the help of Lupe, the flip-flop girl.
