Ghosts, Toast, and Other Hazards by Susan Tan

4.0

I really loved this middle grade novel where the main character copes with the divorce of her mother from her stepfather, a man she considers her father, by trying to take care of everyone in her family, trying to make sure that she mitigates all possible hazards. She blames herself for the lack of relationship that she now has with "S-dad" and for some of his choices and in this novel explores how that has affected her own reactions. I think that Tan did an excellent job portraying these real struggles while also adding in a little bit of magic that may or may not have happened. I definitely recommend this book.
