Describes travails of children, their unhealthy and unrealistic reaction to abandonment, and a resolution that involves the young protagonist seeking help from prying college boys who (horrifyingly) turn out to be very innocent and helpful and offer to put up the children in their dorm room. Realistic fiction indeed. I read it almost a decade ago, to be fair, but that's what I remember. I'm all for heavy material and character development; when it's honest and sensitive. This book, however, is a mess of equivocation and bad technique. Personally, I don't find it to be a good fit for children.
