Zinny’s mother would rather keep the entire episode “private” – that is, a secret – and Zinny, her older sister, and younger brother all must learn to come to terms with Gabriel’s mental illness. In Zinny’s case, there’s help from unexpected quarters, including the support she gets support from the school Lunch Group – and from her passion for marine biology.  (Vermont Golden Dome Book Award, 2022)
