Man at the helm

Man at the helm / Nina Stibbe, 312 pgs.

The first in a series that I've read out of order.  We meet Lizzy Vogel and her siblings soon after her father left their mother for a man.  Lizzy's mom isn't used to being single and falls into a hell of a depression.  Lizzy and her sister are convinced that a new "man at the helm" is what is needed to right things.  They look around their new village and try to set their mom up with men who they think will work out.  Some of their choices are laughable.  Written in the straight forward way as the other books, we hear Lizzy's voice as she notices and deals with things from her 10 year old perspective.  Enjoyable.
