The Box Children is the story of a twelve-year-old girl living on a Texas wheat farm. Her only friends are the Box Children, five tiny dolls she has named after her lost siblings-babies her mother has miscarried. This summer, Lou Ann's mother is pregnant again, but Lou Ann can already sense that something is wrong. As her mother's grasp on reality slips away, she must rely on her own wit and courage to make sense of adolescence. Lucid and startlingly frank, "The Box Children" is a simple but stirring, tough but tender story about growing up. As Lou Ann emerges-a clear-eyed and spirited girl, struggling to see beyond her life with a cruel mother and a stifling father, beyond life on the farm, to the possibilities of a wide world-she will stake a firm claim in the hearts of readers. *** Quantity Available: 1.
