"A glowing book...An enthralling journey to a gratifying end."THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWThe Tillerman kids' mother just left them one day in a car in a mall parking lot. Their father, too, had left them a long time ago. So, as usual, it was up to thirteen-year-old Dicey, the eldest of four, to take care of everything, make all the decisions, feed them, find places to sleep. But above all, Dicey would have to make sure to avoid the authorities who would split them up and place them in foster homes. Deep down, she hoped they could find an adult they could trust, someone who would take them in and love them. But she was afraid it was too much to hope for...."Fantastic...Dicey's strength and courage carry the story."THE BALTIMORE SUN

James and Sammy Tillerman are as different as two brothers can be. But when Jimmy seeks out their missing father, Sammy joins in.

"Entertaining."THE KIRKUS REVIEWSLast year Mandy wanted to belong to a clique, but then she decided to be as different as possible--and found a kindred spirit in Owen, the new kid in school. Together, they formed a secret club of two: Weird Entities in Rightful Domination or, as they liked to put it Weird Power!. Things got really weird though, when the mythological beings Mandy and Owen were writing a school paper about, came to life. Even more astounding, was the incredible news that earth was being attacked by space invaders in the shape of garbage pails--and that the only hope of stopping them fell to Mandy, Owen, and their ragtag army!

If she can make a success of doing what she loves, she can take care of the rest of the Tillerman clan, which includes her two younger brothers, her younger sister, and Gram, who took them all in when their mother abandoned them. But dreaming isn't doing, and Dicey begins to find out the hard way that starting a business is difficult, and that you have to expect the unexpected....
