This is an easy-ish chapter book about a girl who has to live with family members she doesn't really know. Although she's uncomfortable at first, she grows to appreciate the people around her. The story isn't overly rosy. I think it's a particularly great book for kids in foster care because they would be able to relate to a lot of the main character's feelings. Her circumstances don't necessarily change for the better during the book, but she grows and adapts to them. There's a message of how you can overcome obstacles even if you can't change them. It would be good for around ages 8-12.

Perfect for the downtrodden child who may be on hard luck or has been in the past. It's not a fully uplifting book but it shows the promise of hope for the main character's future.

Arrived in great shape. I haven't had time to read the book yet, but it looks like a lovely tale.
