This is the story of learning to trust and finding your family. Zoe is an orphan who basically raised herself, even before her mother died. She's sent to live with Uncle Henry, who is a famous heart surgeon turned withdrawn sculptor. He tries to relate to Zoe, but his moods can't always be relied on. Zoe tries to make friends with a stray cat who roams near the house, but Mr. C'mere, as she calls him, has his own issues with people. Eventually, Zoe, Henry, and various friends and neighbors from their small North Carolina town come together and form their own circle of people to rely on, all well-drawn and interesting characters you'll wish you could sit down for dinner with.

Owen is the fattest kid in school. It wasn't always that way, but things have changed for him recently. Owen has a lot to figure out. Luckily, he's got a near genius IQ, and a knack for inventing things, like a receiver that can pick up TV signals from the past. Well, he's working on that. In the meantime, he's got to figure out who is stealing the Oreos from his lunch, why his sister wants to be called Jeremy, and why a scar-faced boy at school seems to REALLY have it in for him. Owen may be scavenging his past (not to mention demolished buildings) to try to fit the pieces of his life back together, but sometimes you need to look to the present moment to really appreciate what you have.

Spoon's feeling a little blue. Fork, Knife and Chopsticks all lead more exciting lives than him it seems. He can't twirl spaghetti, spread things, or eat exotic foods. Little does he know that Fork, Knife and Chopsticks all appreciate the things Spoon can do. They will never know how great it is to dive into a bowl of ice cream or cereal. A fun story celebrating the special things each of us can do.
