Northward to the moon by Polly Horvath

The back of the book states that this is reading level 5.0 and for ages 10-13.  It is supposedly narated by a tween girl, the oldest of her mother's four children.  However, her naration is that of a very well versed adult.  It comes across as odd, just like this story.  I would not recommend it.  One of her aunts remarks after seeing a nice looking young man that he looks like "sex on a stick".  The girl also spends some time trying to figure out who fathered her brothers, sister and self.  I thought is was a very bizarre story with a very unsatisfying ending.  This is dysfunctional family escapades at their best.
