Frannie and Tru is a gentle yet unflinching look at the prejudices we carry despite our best intentions. The characters rang true for me, and I loved the chance to see the world through Frannie's eyes. Hattrup expertly captures the feeling of being on the cusp of adulthood, of eyes and hearts and minds widening with sometimes excruciating speed/5(64). Karen Hattrup is a superb writer and the story of Frannie's Baltimore summer - one that starts off bleakly due to a looming change of schools, dad's loss of job, and abandonment of friends - slowly begins to sizzle after the arrival of her mysterious cousin from Connecticut, Tru. Frannie latches onto Tru and sees him as her summer's savior but slowly begins to question who her cousin really is/5.
