About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I believe this is the best book that I have ever read out of many many books. Its the best book that I will ever read, and I am only thirteen. I could picture myself walking the railroad with Primrose and David. I could see the weeds flying when they whacked them with the yoyo. Believe me. You WANT to read this.

I absolutely love this book! Jerry Spinelli has excellent voice in his writing, and his writing takes you to to place that you are reading about. In this book, you can definitely feel how he writes, and that he really enjoys writing. I recommend this book to anyone! I really enjoy this book, and it kind of relates to my own life.
