"Sure Signs of Crazy" by Karen Harrington is an unusual novel that chronicles the introspective life of twelve-year old Sarah Nelson.
Sarah is not your typical twelve-year old. Sarah's mother attacked her and her twin brother Simon when both were toddlers. Sarah survived but Simon did not.
Sarah has no close friends and her father is often drunk so in order to cope she communicates with a plant, her dead brother, and a fictional character in a book.
Needless to say, some consider Sarah to be a little odd, but she is actually just terribly lonely and there is no one to share her feelings with.
I really enjoyed reading "Sure signs of Crazy" it has depth and Sarah Nelson is a wonderfully heroic main character.
