To the fans of Erin Brockovich, Nancy Drew or Junie B Jones - Those determined and quirky qualities of those stories meet in this novel!

Mab, Monday and Mirabel are the triplets who tell this story in their own lovable voices from chapter to chapter. They each deal with their own disabilities, anxieties and sisterhood drama as they sort through the new faces in town and changes amongst each other.

Mab, One, is the responsible first child. Older only momentarily but watching her sisters grow up has matured her. Her chapters are the delightful years of being a teenager. She toes enemy lines and believes in the good of everyone so fiercely.

Monday, Two, needs a sense of order. With some autistic and OCD qualities, seeing the world through her chapters is charming yet anxious. Her library and reading obsession leak new info about the age old disaster.

Mirabel, Three, confined to a wheelchair but with thoughts reaching far beyond that bring a sense of a true detective to the trio. Understanding tones and asking tough questions she drive the three along in the mystery.

How Frankel captures the innocence and heart of each teenager is amazing. The voices and development in this novel warmed my heart and had me wanting to meet these sisters. The overlap of chapters and POVs of all the happenings in this small town were so entertaining to me.

My Synopsis: Mab, Monday and Mirabel are the teenage triplets of Nora in a small town that time and disaster have left broken. Each daughter differently affected by contaminated water as a result of a company mishap just before they were born. They have watched their mom dedicate her life to figuring out how to get justice and fix all that has been wronged. Although, this has not gone anywhere and the brokenness of the town has not changed. Until one day everything does, when the family and owners of the plant that caused the destruction, return to town to start again.
