I Have No Son!: Mamma's parents wanted her to marry a man from their village in Italy. When Mamma moved to America and married a woman, her father told her he never wanted to see her again. She hasn't heard from anyone in her family in years when her brother Maurizio calls her to tell her that their father is dying. Mamma decides to stay in America rather than fly to Italy and attempt a deathbed reconciliation.

comment
Exact Words: The school website states that girls must wear a black pleated knee-length skirt, but it doesn't say what they can wear under it. Liv's first protest against the dress code is wearing a pair of black twill pants under his skirt. It doesn't work - Mrs. McCready threatens to send him to the principal's office if he doesn't go to the bathroom and change immediately.

comment
Eating Lunch Alone: Marion Meltzer, the only other kid in school who's as unpopular as Liv, sits by herself at lunch. On her first day of school she looks up hopefully every time someone walks past her table, but after that she gives up. Weeks into the year, Liv feels guilty that he's been so wrapped up in his own problems that he hasn't thought about Marion, so he and his new friend Jacob Arbuckle sit at her table. She hates wearing a skirt too and is happy to help out with the Pants Project.
