(4) 4-6 When Haley's mother is hospitalized after a breakdown and her older brother is jailed for selling stolen goods, the thirteen-year-old is placed in foster care. Haley continues her summer job, doing yard work for a music teacher who has family problems of his own. This story of adjusting to adversity is hampered by superficial prose and a problematic conclusion, but readers will find the protagonist a likable character.
