Description

When his grandfather’s dementia raises the threat of foster care, Arlo flees to find his only other circle of relatives member in this genuine, heartening novel.

Arlo’s grandfather travels in time. Not literally — he just mixes up the past with the present. Arlo holds on as best he can, fixing himself cornflakes for dinner and paying back the owner of the corner store for the sausages Poppo eats without remembering to pay. But how long before anyone finds out that Arlo is caring for the grandfather he lives with as a substitute of the opposite direction around? When Poppo lands in the hospital and a social worker comes to take charge, Arlo’s fear of foster care sends him alone across three hundred miles. Armed with a name and a town, Arlo finds his only other circle of relatives member — the grandmother he doesn’t remember that ever meeting. But just finding her isn’t enough to cause them to a circle of relatives. Unfailingly honest and touched with a dash of magical realism, Sarah Sullivan’s evocative debut novel delves into a circle of relatives mystery and unearths universal truths about home, accept as true with, friendship, and strength — all of the things a boy needs.
