Rachel Spinelli Punched Me in the Face by Paul Acampora

What a great, quick read.  After Zachary's mom leaves him and his dad, they decide to make a fresh start in a new city.  Their new neighbor, Rachel Spinelli, makes quite an impression.  Rachel is fierce!  "Her superpower is ferociousness." Rachel loves her older, unique brother Teddy and protects him ferociously which sometimes gets her in trouble...well, actually, it gets her in trouble A LOT of the time.  This book was a funny, light look at a pretty heavy subject.  How do you move past such a troubling event as a parent abandoning you or dying (Rachel and Teddy's mother is dead) and come out a stronger person?
