National Book Award winner Virginia Euwer Wolff completes her award-winning Make Lemonade trilogy.
LaVaughn has struggled to get out of the projects and into nursing school. Now she’s one step away from her goal of college. But to her great shock, she discovers a few secrets that may change things.
Praise for the Make Lemonade Trilogy: “Wolff ’s writing leaves listeners with no option but to root enthusiastically for both LaVaughn and Jolly...”—School Library Journal
How can a 14-year-old babysitter make up for the parents, the husband, the whole support system that 17-year-old single mother Jolly needs--and doesn't have? LaVaughn is every bit as determined to help the struggling ghetto family she babysits for as she is to save money for college. This is the first in Euwer Wolf's LaVaughn trilogy. Her second, TRUE BELIEVER, won Newbery honors this year. LaVaughn is a girl worth following, a girl whose observations are full of humor and honesty. Narrator Heather Alicia Simms captures the ghetto cadences that put listeners right in the middle of Jolly's cockroach-infested living room. When Simms draws out LaVaughn's name to emphasize Jolly's anger, it's like overhearing girls talking on a corner--very real and in the moment.
