Short chapters and lots of white space make this book appropriate for both good and struggling readers in grades 4-6. The story makes the reader reminisce about their own childhood and what a struggle it could be, especially when no one seemed to understand. Calista is a free spirit - and she understands Albie like no adult ever has. Luckily there's Calista - the new babysitter his parents have hired to watch him after school until they get home from work. He doesn't tell his parents because they're so busy with work that they don't pay much attention to him (except for when he disappoints them by reading baby books or not getting 100% on his spelling test). At his new school he once again struggles to fit in, and ends up being constantly teased by Darren who is one of the cool kids.
