Little Things Bring a Family Together

This is the story of 6th grader Tucker Renfro, a boy whose dream is to be a part of a tribe, a family. His 9-year-old sister, Olivia, comes for an extended visit - the first time the two siblings have been together in seven years.The story revails the little things that bring families together - and tears them apart. It's about Tucker coming of age. He learns that life is not always fair. Pain and pleasure go hand in hand to build a life ... a whole, full life.

Good Book

My overall opinion about this book was that I found it very hard to understand and actually get into. The two things I hate most about this book was that the characters were flat, this means the characters didn't catch your attention much. Then the second thing was that they paraphrased almost everything, and I thought that was very hard to understand or even know what they were talking about. Like they would be talking about one thing then jump to something else. I would probably recommend this book to people who like Indian Cultures or like emotional books.
