Hattie lives with her family in their home which has been turned into a boarding house. She knows all the boarders and their peculiarities. She can't walk around town without word getting back to her family about where she's been and with whom she's been talking. It's a world of order and familiarity, until she learns one day that she has another uncle, Adam, who has been away at school since he was 12. Now he's 21, and he's coming home, but Adam doesn't quite fit into the orderly world Hattie has known. He has problems ... mental problems. What will the world look like with Adam in it? Profoundly moving! This book is a 2003 Newbery Honor winner. Ages 10-14
