He was once a famous pianist but now suffers from bipolar depression. Fig has learned how to take care of her dad during his bad days but since he walked out into a storm and the police had to bring him home, and child protection got involved, she lives in fear of them being separated. Fig struggles to understand her Dad, to find some way of reaching him. Fig portrayed as the kid who wants to save her dad, loves him so much that she feels need to protect him at all costs and prove he’s okay. Solid and empathetic. ( ) Fig's mother left when she was days old and it's been her and her composer father ever since. But lately, Tim's brain seems a little muddled. He'll go outside in a storm. He'll sleep all day. Fig seems to be losing control of things. The worst was when her teacher called Child Protective Services. Her major mistake and major breakthrough was calling their new across the street neighbor Mark when Tim went out in a major storm. Mark has been able to calm Tim down but he also makes Fig feel left out. Fig wants to be to her dad what Vincent Van Gogh's brother, Theo, was to Vincent, his support system. When Tim and Mark become more than friends, Fig is startled. She's also startled because she confided to her dad about her interest in girls and he never mentioned his interest in men. Section headings contain quote fro Van Gogh's letters to his brother and there is talk of his paintings, which add an interesting element to the story. Hurricane Season, so named because Tim is entranced by storms, is a good read, not overpowering, but effective. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
