Bookroo's summary
David, grieving his mother's sudden death, and Primrose, living with her eccentric mother, are two kids navigating life's challenges. Despite their age gap, they form a turbulent friendship that becomes a lifeline. As they confront their personal losses and family struggles, their bond offers a chance for healing and understanding. Can they help each other find what they've been missing, or will their differences drive them apart? Discover the power of friendship in the face of adversity.
From the publisher
Eggs is a quirky and moving novel about two very complicated, damaged children. David has recently lost his mother to a freak accident, his salesman father is constantly on the road, and he is letting his anger out on his grandmother. Primrose lives with her unstable, childlike, fortuneteller mother, and the only evidence of the father she never knew is a framed picture. Despite their age difference (David is 9, Primrose is 13), they forge a tight yet tumultuous friendship, eventually helping each other deal with what is missing in their lives.
