Gracie's Girl

(4) 4-6 Sixth-grader Bess Cunningham resents the time her mother spends volunteering at a local shelter but has a change of heart when she meets Gracie, an elderly homeless woman. The treatment of both the predictable plot and Bess's coming to understand the plight of the homeless is heavy-handed, but readers will sympathize with Bess's desire to stand out--yet fit in--at school.
