(3) 4-6 In 1960, Garnet and her older sister, Opal, move from Texas to live with their aunt in Oklahoma. As her selfish mother chases dreams of country-singer stardom and her father recovers from a debilitating fire, Garnet struggles through a year of seventh grade as an outsider. This poignant story paints a vivid picture of one girl growing up poor amidst a wave of social change.
