description: Lily Moore at 10, as judged by her fifth grade teacher: "Unsatisfactory... Hair matted, uncombed, disheveled appearance. Soil under nails." She lives in a bizarre apartment where the living room furnishings consist of a gold lame castro convertible and two pink bath mats. She shares the habitation with a senile old woman and two bachelors, one of whom habitually cooks popcorn for breakfast wearing a pith helmet. This is the story of a girl who starts out fatherless, is orphaned at 8, and raised by two extremely odd strangers who happen to be her uncles. Nevertheless, she slowly accumulates for herself a strong and - no matter how eccentric - deeply loving family.
