A review by libscote
Far from Fair by Elana K. Arnold
4.0
Odette's world is turned upside down when her father suddenly accepts a severance package and her parents sell their house. Now they are living in "The Coach" (an RV). Other indignities include the loss of a cell phone and the purchase of a "wrong" dog. Odette desperately wanted a Labrador, instead she got a small wiry dog. The one shining moment is that they are on their way to see her Grandma Sissy, who is sick.
I loved how cranky and prickly Odette was. In my opinion, it was totally justified. I was a cranky middle schooler. I'm pretty sure I disliked a lot about myself and life, and my life was stable. My parents weren't fighting, we weren't moving from the Bay area of California to an island in Washington state, and my grandmother wasn't sick. I thought her transition into being slightly more open was realistic.
This book deals with death, and whether or not it is acceptable for it to be a choice. I thought it dealt with it lightly, but fairly.
