One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
5.0

I borrowed Lynda Mullaly Hunt's second book, Fish in a Tree, from a 5th grade teacher at my school. I returned it the next day, having read it in one sitting. Not because it was an easy read, but because it tugged at my heart and wouldn't stop till I reached the end.

Sharing that with the teacher, his co-teacher then insisted I borrow this book, Hunt's first. I brought it home yesterday and read it this evening, unable to stop except for a bathroom break and to see something my husband wanted me to see. (My family might say that was oversharing, but it was necessary to make the point – this book is every bit impossible to put down as the other one.)

Lynda Mullaly Hunt has an uncanny way with expressing emotions and feelings and thoughts of children. And I just took a break from writing this to explore her website: http://www.lyndamullalyhunt.com, which is equally lovingly crafted.

My eyes are tired so I will end, but go read Hunt's books and find a new friend (in her stories and in her as an author.) :-)
