When an eavesdropping boy sets out to discover the obscure mysteries of his unravelling family, he uncovers instead what he least wants to know: the workings of his parents private lives. And even then he can't stop snooping. Miles Adler-Rich spies and listens in on his separating parents with the help of his friend Hector. The boys amateur detective work starts innocently enough. But in rifling through his mother s dresser and snooping in her online diary, it isn t long before they stumble into the outer reaches of the grown-up s privacy uncovering powerful information that will affect the family s health, wealth and sanity. Written with pathos and brilliant imagination, Casebook is an unflinching and very different coming-of-age story from one of America s most gifted chroniclers of modern family life.
