Get AwayJust have to get away. Tired of the chaos today. Run out the door, phone in hand. I'm barefoot, shoes be damned.Get Away
Walking down the lonely street; Soft sounding footsteps and gentle heat. Gaze up; clouds in the sky. Keep on staring; don't know why. Hear a distant stereo blast Remembering the blessed past.
Now I'm alone I can dream Of a better future it seems. Wishing on different dimensions, Ones where there's no inner tensions.

A sick heart's rap.I think I'm falling for you And I don't know what to do. Just know I can't stop It. If I do then I'll drop To the floor and start to lose my mind. Cause you, you are truly one-of-a-kind. If I don't just calm down Know I'll start to drown In feelings for you. Is this stuff really true? Like I've tried to say before, I'm afraid to ask for more Cause I'm scared of the hurt If I keep going I might blurt Out my fear of rejection. More thinking, more perplexion.

General Fiction is the genre/ Realistic Fiction
The award is Newbery Award
Characters are Hattie elderly boarder, the friendly cook, her artist father,her grandmother,Uncle Adam Lucille Ball.
Setting ins a 1950s setting
The point of view is from Uncle Adam I think.
The theme is I think that means genre too.
Plot:Martin (Belle Teal; the Baby-Sitters Club series) hints at a life-changing event from the first paragraph of this novel narrated by a perceptive and compassionate 12-year-old, and set in the summer of 1960. Hattie Owen had been anticipating a summer as comfortably uneventful as all the others ("I just want things all safe and familiar," she admits), helping her mother run their boarding house, painting alongside her artist father and reading "piles" of books. Then Uncle Adam (whom Hattie never knew existed) makes a surprise entrance, turning everything upside-down. Hattie's mother says that Uncle Adam has "mental problems." Hattie's grandparents act embarrassed whenever he is around, and her peers laugh at him. The author authentically conveys the ripples Adam sends through this small town. The heroine is continually amazed by his outlandish antics, moved by his sudden mood changes and secretly wonders if she and Adam might be kindred spirits. Hattie finds adventure and tragedy as well as enlightenment as she "lifts the corners of [her] universe" in order to better understand Adam. With characteristic tenderness and wisdom, the author portrays the complex relationship between the sympathetic heroine and her uncle ("I feel a little like his baby-sitter, a little like his mother, not at all like his niece, and quite a bit like his friend"). Readers will relate to Hattie's fear of being as "different" as Adam, and will admire her willingness to befriend an outcast. Hearts will go out to both Hattie and Adam as they step outside the confines of their familiar world to meet some painful challenges.
It's a sad, short book but such a beautiful message!
