This one is about Karen, whose parents are getting divorced. She, her older brother and her younger sister have different ways of dealing with this. Karen's way is to try and figure out how to get her parents back together. (It's not a spoiler to say that THAT particular plan doesn't go well.)

I think my favorite thing about this is the fact that Karen's parents are good people. It's not that one is mean or cheated or whatever---these are two people who love their kids but who don't love each other anymore. And rather than hate each other and be miserable and drag the kids down with them, they choose to get a divorce.

I'm pretty sure that's how it goes most of the time, and I think it's a good thing for kids to see---there's not always someone at fault.

Recommended.
