Subject(s): Summary: Ten-year old Andrea's parents have divorced and remarried and now she has several stepsiblings. She spends one week at her mother's house and the next at her father's. She wants her old family and their house, called Mulberry Cottage, back. The only comfort in her life is her lucky mascot toy rabbit, Radish, who lives in her pocket and offers her security. This realistic story told in 26 short chapters (one for each letter of the alphabet) gives Andy's view of her world of mean stepfamilies, her heartbreak and self-pity, and her own solution of creating an escape through her adventures with Radish. Light humor and an eventual realization on Andy's part that she is loved by her Mom and Dad and even liked by some of her stepsiblings and new half-sister (and that she likes some of them, too) make this a satisfying read.?Kathy East, Wood County District Public Library, OH
