One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

My daughter insisted I read this one as we read & loved “Fish in a Tree” so much. It was another terrific heartbreaker of a middle grade novel. The author really knows how to write about uncomfortable feelings & the inner lives of teens. I appreciate how with both books she’s shining the light on the kids who really struggle and allowing readers to really SEE them and empathize with their challenges and back stories. So needed.
