Sam and Sally--ups and downs of tough teenage life. Sam's mother dies. Sally's father (he is adopted) is gay. Many wonderful moments throughout--very natural transitions in the conversations that make this feel real, not like a novel. "Dad" is a little too good to be true.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
