From chapters.ca:Biology is not Drees thing. Equally heinous are English, Social Studies, her sister and mother, not to mention Edmonton in general. Toronto is where she belongs specifically the upcoming Renegade Craft Fair where, finally, her crafts will be appreciated. But escape is imminent: on her fifteenth birthday, she will get the special fund her father promised, and the day after that, shell be on WestJet Flight 233 to Toronto. Instead, her dad has a fatal heart attack, and all she finds are clues leading to the ominous Alberta Psychiatric Hospital where her parents once worked. Along the way: a couple of fatal fires, mysterious inconsistencies in the family tree, nineteen sassy sock creatures named Marcel, a new friend, a stepmother who's maybe sympathetic after all, and the unceasing misery of school. As Dree tries to unearth a mystery, and to knit herself a passing mark in science, she keeps searching for the money, and for a proper way to grieve her father. Told in a fresh and frank voice, The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1 to 19 is a wry, adventurous, unflinching look at the trials of teenage life. Instructions for renegade crafts included.
