Miggy and Ellen are 7 year old best friends. Miggy is a little hard to follow, energetic and a tad crazy. Ellen does like to hang around her but is frequently out of her element. Their parents are main characters too. Neither set seems like they are doing a great job with the girls but when tragedy strikes, we see how it affects the five remaining people. Everyone is unmoored and unable to cope but in their own separate ways. I thought this book was a pretty good read but was mostly intrigued with its being set in St. Louis. I see no evidence that the author has spent any time here. Perhaps the setting is the biggest mystery of them all.
