Half A Chance by Cynthia Lord

Lucy and her parents have moved to New Hampshire where their house is situated on a lake.  She befriends her next door neighbor, Nate.  Together they capture photographs to compete in a contest that will be judged by her world famous photographer father.
This book addresses a child trying to impress her father and the unsettling reality of dementia.
Points to discuss: some lying
Strategies: inferring-figurative language, character's feelings, character development
