Grounded

By Kate Klise

I forgot that I had read this,,, and had to read the info to know what it was about... not a good sign... (for me, or the book?) I don't remember liking it... I have had an 'oh yeah' moment... and it was fun... but a little fun on a LOT sad... not my cup of tea...

Would I recommend it? no...

After her brother, sister, and father die in a plane crash, Daralynn Oakland receives 237 dolls from well-wishers, resulting in her nickname: Dolly. But dolls are little comfort to a twelve-year-old girl whose world is rocked by the dramatic changes in her life, including her angry, grieving mother’s new job as a hairstylist at the local funeral home. Dolly gets a job, too, where she accidentally invents a fashionable new haircut. But her real work begins when a crematorium comes to town, and someone has to save a dying business, solve a burning mystery, and resuscitate the broken hearts in Digginsville, Missouri, population 402.
