I really missed the Tillerman clan so it was great to get back into this series (thank you VPL for ordering this book for me!). Is this book as good as Homecoming or Dicey's Song? No, but it's close. Bullet is an interesting character, he's an angry loner who runs only for himself...but he's also quite human and eventually learns and grows (and isn't that what we expect in a YA novel). But oh man, I sure do love those little peeks into the mother's world. Mother here, Grandmother in the other books, I love her the best.
