I loved this book. I love Merci and how splunky she is. I love her close-knit family, her grandfather whom she loves and is kindred spirit with. They both have a gentle sensibility and are dreamers. When she feels low after school, he understands how he feels. Her grandmother, who is pragmatic, helps her sew her Halloween costumes. Her mother and father are busy surviving. They live together with her cousins and aunt. They quarrel but they love each other and take care of each other. The story is so endearing and so real to me. They remind me of my own family--which is Asian American.
