Funny!

Ten-year-old Martha is convinced she's an orphan. Why else is she the only one in the family with green eyes? Why is her little brother Kermit good at math, while Martha isn't? And how convenient that their mom says all the baby photos of Martha were in a lost suitcase during a move several years back! Nonetheless, Martha's determined to get through it all...especially now that she's got Parker as her best friend. With Parker, it doesn't matter that Martha's failing math, or that all her classmates can't stand her. Then Parker transfers to a private school, and Martha realizes just how horrible her situation really is. Without Parker, she has no one to protect her from the other kids' taunts; and at home, things are tense since her father's away on an extended business trip to South America. But now Martha's befriended the Ables, an elderly couple who Martha believes to be her true grandparents. If only they weren't so crazy...

Funny and sweet

Lindbergh, a master at fantasy, proves that she is equally skilled at realistic fiction with this funny book. The main character is realistic, funny, and consistant. A definite winner, "Nobody's Orphan" will delight all mid-grade readers.
