Lou is a 12-year-old girl living with her single mom.  She’s noticing boys and finding out that playing with dolls isn’t the same now as it had been before.  Also, her mother is attracted to a new neighbor.  Just about each page is a new scenario for Lou, except for when her grandmother comes to visit.  That story takes several pages as ‘memaw’ is quite the character.  Quite a few realities are exposed.  Definitely a girls’ book, they should love the storylines and dialogue.
