A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley

(read aloud)

A little too convoluted for my taste, and no progress in her father's depression, which is getting me down. I think there is a deep psychology at work in these books. It is almost a therapy to read and work through the loneliness of life that all people face in different ways. In this case, the loss of a mother, a distant, hurting father, self-absorbed siblings. Coping by a life of the mind, making adult friends, and enjoying the invisibility of a young girl. The next book is out. Can't wait!
