How I Saved My Father's Life (and Ruined Everything Else) (EBK)
by Ann HoodTwelve-year-old Madeline believes she can perform miracles. Her biggest one to date is saving her father from an avalanche. Unfortunately, he then divorces Madeline's mother, writes a book about the avalanche, becomes a celebrity, and marries Ava Pomme, a renowned gourmet baker.
When her father takes off, Madeline is left with her mother, who's slowly coming undone; her hypochondriac little brother, who spends his days worrying about air-bag safety; a house that's falling apart around her; and no clue how to perform the miracle that will fix it all.
Amidst ballet lessons, insufferable recipe experiments for her mother's magazine column, and a life-changing trip to Italy, Madeline learns the true meaning of faith—and family—in this moving novel by celebrated author Ann Hood.
