The Key to the Golden Firebird by Maureen Johnson
4.0
This was an amazing book. I'd give it a 5-star, but the only thing that stood in my way was the "fathers ashes" thing - it totally creeped me out. But otherwise, it was an awesome read. It was so easy to connect with the characters. Especially Mayzie (duh) and surprisingly, the two other siblings, Brooks and Palmer.
Things are going well for the Golds'. Mayzie's a brain, so her parents sent her off to some all-girl private school. Brooks is a softball champ and is balancing that and Dave, her more-than-a-friend. And Palmer throws a mean pitch. But all that changes when Mayzie's father has a heart-attack and dies. Now she's having trouble with things, especially learning to drive. Brooks starting to be a wild party animal and drops the thing that kept her closest to her dad - softball. Palmer withdraws and acts like a pain (according to Mayzie).
This is an amazing novel, and I recommend it to EVERYONE, even the boys. :) It has just the right amount of adventure and just a tad bit of romance to keep you occupied. Simply amazing.
