It is very clear to me that Ms. Harrington must have/have had a wonderful father. The dads in SSOC and CFB are really incredible dudes. Human with faults, sure, but the kind of men with hearts of loving fathers.
Harrington has tackled another tough subject with this book: agoraphobia. But again, like SSOFC, this book is life like, in that the "big" problem isn't the only one. So this isn't just a book about a family dealing with agoraphobia, but family dealing with all of the things that a family deals with, plus the hell of mom's agoraphobia. Bullying, belonging, middle school, coming of age, a life-threatening accident, self-esteem, friendship. All of this, just like life, and written so well, that even though Mysti's life is (like all of ours) full of different challenges and problems, this isn't a "problem book," just a very, very well written book about a real family. Love this author.
