Description
Twelve-year-old Elvis Babbitt relies on facts, scientific observations, and carefully calculated timelines to make sense of life after her mother’s sudden death. As her sleepwalking sister faces dangerous episodes and her grieving father behaves in increasingly unusual ways, Elvis begins investigating the mystery surrounding the loss while navigating the complicated bonds of family and community. Set in small-town Alabama, this poignant and darkly funny novel explores grief, resilience, sibling love, and the ways humor can endure even in the face of heartbreak. Elvis’s distinctive, candid voice makes her journey both deeply moving and unforgettable.
