    Grace is just trying to be a normal kid, but she finds it is pretty hard when her mom sleeps and smokes all day and
    she is left taking care of her younger siblings.         

    She thinks things will change when the family takes a trip to a cabin on the lake for a couple of weeks, hoping that
    maybe her mom just needs to relax.

    WRONG!  All of the responsibility falls on Grace, as usual.

    She does meet a boy, though, named Frankie. He is very cute and likes her back, but they can never be alone
    because Grace is always stuck caring for her brothers and sisters.

    This is a great book, following THE SUMMER SHERMAN LOVED ME, and I give it 4 stars!
