Summers, Laura Desperate Measures, 250 p. Putnam (Penugin), 2011. #17. Vicky and Rhianna are twins, but you’d never know it to look at them. Rhianna has learning disabilities which make her a volatile companion on the best of days – and she only gets worse when there is more stress. Their younger brother, Jamie, is more willing to pick a fight than listen to the voice of reason When the three siblings feel rejected by their foster parents, they take off into the woods in search of a remembered safe place – their Great Aunt Irene’s. Nothing will come easy for this trio in search of a home. Summer’s story has a kind of happy ending, but it seems like something adults might want to read more than kids will enjoy. EL – OPTIONAL.
