She asks:
I recently read a book that had a hilarious kid in it. I am looking for other books with funny kids in them.
Could you help?
Maryse: People kept mentioning THE kids. How funny the kids were. How they made this story… more. I can love kids in stories, but I often find kids are a bit over exaggerated in novels (or not quite true – to me anyway – to their age). But not these. And there were SIX of ’em. ABSOLUTE perfection on the “kid-front”. Hilarious, bratty, heartwarming, infuriating, goofy, and everything I expect in a story about a makeshift family that has to adjust in the face of tragedy.
Wareesha just asked me if there were any books along this trope (and I LOVE this!!) Nothing better than someone with a big bad-ass secret about her bad-assedness trying to “live a normal life”. <— Tee hee!! 😂 All sorts of things come into play here.
Donna: 
Kris is looking for recommendations! Oh I’ve read a bunch like this… I just can’t pinpoint exact books just yet. Hopefully my memory comes back to me and I can add some to this list, too.
One more list just came in, and I’m thrilled at how Kelly categorized her favorites this year. While I don’t have many comment highlights for us to reflect on, she IS my frequent “reader question” helper and I’m so thankful for that. 😀
