Readers muddling through preteen changes or unstable family lives will identify with Esme’s struggles, but the thrill of discovery will appeal to most. Like Bee, she has a gift for finding lost things, but the tasks of finding where she belongs and how to save her family don’t come as easily. Light magic touches this small-town story, set in an era of telephone party lines and moonshine stills, as Esme grapples with her grief and the emergence of an unusual talent. When a storm exposes a bit of old bone on the hilltop, Esme starts to dig and discovers a dinosaur skeleton, which proves valuable in multiple ways. Esme escapes her tangled family life on Solace Hill, the place where Paps died. Her grandfather was one of the only people to ever show her love, seeing as her parents drift through life at a distance, and her grandmother, Bee, is all business and no softness. |a JUVENILE FICTION / Social Issues / Adolescence. |a JUVENILE FICTION / Family / Multigenerational. |a Dysfunctional families |0 |v Juvenile fiction.
