The Big Shuffle
 We re approaching Cat in the Hat level chaos and no one s even had breakfast yet. When the death of her father leaves her mother bereft and incapacitated, card shark Hallie Palmer returns home from college to raise Hallie s eight younger siblings. Hallie s older brother has a scholarship and a sensible major which translates to free tuition and desperately needed future income for the family. So it s up to Hallie to deal herself in as head of the chaotic household. But even after the invasion of those well-meaning, casserole-carrying purveyors of comfort the local church ladies, Hallie s in a downward spiral. Thank goodness for old friends like Bernard and Gil, now proud parents, who keep Hallie afloat with good humor, brilliant organizational skills, and Judy Garland s most quotable quotes not that life is entirely peaceful now that Bernard s wise, willful, and delightfully outrageous mother, Olivia, is back from Europe with a big (and shockingly young) surprise. Through it all, Hallie discovers that life can indeed turn on a dime, and that every coin has two sides plus an edge. Just because beginner s luck doesn t always last forever doesn t mean you re out of the game.
