806

by Cynthia Weil

Sibling 1 throws blenders and plays guitar. Sibling 2 is allergic to everything and is into magic. Sibling 3 is a varsity swimmer with a group of female fans. Enough said.

The only thing they have in common is their biological father, and the only thing they can agree on is that they all want to meet him.

With the help of a broken-down, “borrowed” Jeep, KT, Jesse, and Gabe make their way across the country evading police, trying their luck on the slots, and meeting a life-changing pig, all to track down Donor 806, their father. Any hope of success requires smarts, luck, and ingenuity. Good thing they have each other...even if they don't see it that way.

When I read the synopsis for this book, I expected something sort of fun and at times, heartwarming, and I would say that 806 delivered.

This book reminds me of, and delivered the feelings I feel, when watching a sitcom. It was fun and sometimes a little silly, with these "aww-shucks" moments scattered throughout the plot. I found myself in an amused state throughout the story, and liked watching the three protagonists grow on their road trip, which was filled with ups and downs and plenty of twists and happy coincidences.

As in sitcom fashion, the tone of the book was kept light, though the topic was sort of serious, and the ending was the sweetest part with everything was tied up in a neat little bow.
