Sure Signs of Crazy by Karen Harrington

3.0

Sarah Nelson hates being thought of as "that girl." Her mother tried to drown her in the sink when she was two, and has been in a mental hospital since then. Sarah is afraid that she will go crazy like her mother. She can't talk to her father about it -- he is dealing with his grief in his own way. Instead she writes letters to Atticus Finch (from To Kill a Mocking Bird) and talks to her Plant. Her main goal for the summer before seventh grade is to french kiss a boy. Instead, she ends up learning more about herself and her relationship with her mother. For grades 5-7.
