INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Williams, Laura E.

Up a Creek

(3) 4-6 Starshine's afraid her environmental activist mother, Miracle Bott, loves trees more than her own family. She won't come down from her tree-sitting protest in their Louisiana town for storms, Starshine's first period, or even her grandmother's illness. In sure phrases, Williams sketches the conflicts that can crop up between a mother and adolescent daughter, set against a sultry southern summer.
