Reviews
" Family Game Night and Other Catastrophes is a heartfelt exploration of family and friendship, adolescence and sisterhood; it is a touching and real portrait of the beautiful mess that love and life can sometimes be." -- Dan Gemeinhart, author of The Honest Truth "Brave, honest and heartfelt. With grace and humor, the author tackles the overlooked subject of hoarding and gives us a loving portrait of a family in the process of healing." -- Phoebe Stone, author of The Boy on Cinnamon Street, Praise for Family Game Night and Other Catastrophes : "Annabelle's smart, perceptive voice is fresh and realistic.
