Redemption is always possible. Then I read Andre Norton's _Breed To Come_, and the rest is my literary history... By the by, this was another favorite of mine from the Newbery List: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_Mixed-Up_Files_of_Mrs._Basil_E._Frankweiler This book tells the story of Claudia Kincaid, a precocious 12-year-old girl who feels underappreciated by her parents. She decides to run away from home just long enough to show her family what they would be missing without her. Unfortunately, she doesn't enjoy hardship or discomfort, which makes traditional running away problematic. To solve this problem, Claudia decides to stay at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She persuades her younger brother Jamie to accompany her: he's quiet, but most importantly, he has a secret stash of cash he's accumulated by cheating at card games with his best friend, Bruce...
