I don't get Disney channel so I'm going to put this one on hold at the library. BookChook - I've never heard of The Pinballs. I'm going to go look it up right now. Thanks! Betty & Boo's Mommy - You're welcome! Tracie - Oh good! I'm glad to hear that the movie is really good. Ali - I imagine in audio that the time lines would be confusing. It is a nice family book in that I think everybody would enjoy it. Jeanette - You have to get this one! She's a great author, I'm sure you'll enjoy the others as well.

This title was not in the pile though. :-( I recently found a stack of books by Patricia Reilly Giff at a book sale and I am really looking forward to reading them.

It was a little confusing to my 8 year old, with the two time lines. Probably wouldn't have been as confusing in the print version.

I loved the movie and thought that Sissy Spacek's character (Josie) was very touching. I'm a big fan of Sissy Spacek, so there's not much that she can do wrong in my eyes.

The foster care system, at least as it is out here (Calif) is a very difficult system to get out of once in. My kids are glued to the Disney channel so I am sure I will hear about this one.

Have you ever read The Pinballs by Betsy Byars? Great book, similar theme. My year 4-6 kids loved it. Seems to still be available at HarperCollins, despite 1987 pub date.

They are glued to the Disney channel. I'm always on the lookout for good, clean books to read with my kids. Thanks for the tip! I’d be surprised if my kids haven’t seen it.
