The Big Shuffle

This Laura Pedersen title says it all in this inspirational teen fiction/YA novel, a genre I don't normally read. But this is what I recommend for teens to read with their parents about life's challenges from a big family losing a family member to accepting life's surprises in over the year. This is a quick and easy read with eclectic characters and zany similes and metaphors and analogies up the wazoo with plenty of laughs with every page. I believe this book is also part of a series too and it sets in the home state of 9 years: Ohio. Enjoy this one with your loved ones and some tissues!
