So my latest (this synopsis is from Amazon): "Tamara Anderson was in third grade when she found out most people stay in the
same house for more than a year. Until then she thought everyone picked up and
moved on a regular basis, crossing the country, leaving behind people and
bedrooms and belongings. Now she’s turning fifteen, and she wants to stay in
Mayville, New York. At first glance, there isn’t much to stick around for. In
the tarpaper house across the road there are the Murphys, the Baptist family who
upset Tamara’s atheist parents by inviting her to church. In the pasture there’s
Edith the cow. And up in the attic there’s the ghost of the boy who used to live
here, or at least that’s what Tamara suspects. But this time Tamara is putting
her foot down, and planting it…"
I really liked this book. It was an easy read with likable characters. Prior to reading this, I couldn't imagine how it must feel to have to move because of your eccentric parents but after finishing, I have a better understanding of the turmoil that Tamara went through. There's so much more to this book that a 15-year olds angst but I don't want to ruin anything. Read - you will like.
