True (Sort Of...) by Katherine Hannigan

This is a beautifully written book about a girl named Delly who always seems to be in trouble, but really doesn't understand why. She has a special bond with her brother, RB, who idolizes her. She doesn't have any friends until Ferris Boyd moves to town. They help each other and through their friendship Delly learns to be the kind of person she wants to be. This book is touching. I loved Delly's spunk and heart. It does touch on a some tough issues, though. Although it is written for 3rd-5th grade, I would recommend it for a little older audience. There are a lot of raw emotions, self-doubt and despair in this book.
