Probably my favorite of the Oprah Book Club selections.

Icy Sparks is a ten-year-old orphan who lives with her grandparents in rural 1950's Kentucky. She is a wonderfully spunky girl who is afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome, which goes undiagnosed. This book is both funny and sad, often at the same time. The characters are beautifully created and the writing is superb.
