Lovely look at one family coping

Corrie is one of the middle children in a large English family. Their mother's tragic death has sent their professor-father into a bit of a tailspin, and one of the ways the children cope is by retreating into an elaborate family game set in the time of King Arthur. I loved the portrayal of Corrie and her school-mate Meredith, who wants so badly to be Corrie's friend. There is not a single stereotypical character, and the storyline is fresh and entrancing. Perfect for a teenage summer read, and able to draw this adult reader in as well.
