The Onlyhouse

By Teresa Toten

Life in her new neighborhood isn't going to be easy for Croatian immigrant Lucy Vakovik. Her mother has saved enough to buy them an onlyhouse: a single detached home. But to Lucy's friends, her mother says, My sometime English is broking."

What's a kid to do? Lucy's got a fight ahead of her and important choices to make. But she knows she's not a stereotype like some people think - she's Lucy and that's a good place to start.

Customer Reviews

A delightful novel

This book is a real find, original and funny and deep all at the same time. I've had friends from age 9 to 84 read it with a lot of pleasure.
