About
For twelve-year-old Lucy Crandall, the last week of August is the most perfect time in the world. It's the week she gets to spend with Grams at the lake house, canoeing, baking cookies, and glazing pots in Grams's potting shed. Grams has a way of making Lucy feel centered, like one of the pots on her kick wheel-perfect, steady, and completely at peace. But, this summer, Grams doesn't seem to be exactly the person she once was. And, as the week turns into a roller coaster of surprises-some good, some awful, Lucy can't help but wonder: Will things ever be centered again?

Reviews
"Like the final stretch of freedom before school begins, there's something quietly magical--and bittersweet--about Hobbs's (Anything but Ordinary) latest novel. Hidden beneath the ordinary anxieties of a 12-year-old starting middle school (Will she be popular? Will her clothes be the right style?), lies a tearjerker that is both insightful and penetrating."

"This is a touching book that makes the reader think about problems outside of themselves."
