The Magical Imperfect by Chris Baron

5.0

A warm story about Etan and his new friend, Malia, who is homeschooled because of severe eczema. Set in SF, it's a story about a talent show, the World Series and the earthquake of 1989. Baron does a great job of subtly depicting the mom, who is being treated for depression, the strained relationship between Etan's grandfather and father, and the worry of Malia's parents and Lola, her grandmother.
