A chapter book perfect for early independent readers about change, family tension, and the power of love, by legendary author Eloise Greenfield and with illustrations by James Calvin.

Genny is hopeful that her brother's return from the army will magically stop her parents from fighting all the time. But when Larry's return doesn't produce the miracle she had counted on, Genny is angry. It takes a sympathetic friend to help her understand that change isn't necessarily bad—and that families can still love each other, no matter what happens. 

James Calvin's dynamic black-and-white illustrations perfectly complement Greenfield's kid-friendly text, making this chapter book perfect for early independent readers.
