Leslie Marshall (1) (1953–)

This book was a bit different from anything I've read before. Elray is a very unique child. She is very insightful and observant for her age. I loved all the characters in this book, but especially Auntie Ajax. The author's perspective on some difficult life situations actually fall in line with some of mine which is a refreshing change of pace. Glad I picked this one up at the used book sale at my library. :)

A twisted family history (almost) to equal 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum', including electrocuted parents who communicate via their surviving daughter's scar, a cross-dressing uncle (or aunt), a mad grandmother and a best friend who the family believe is imaginary. Not bad.
