(4) YA Orca Soundings series. Angie and her mother and brother are living in their car while they wait for public housing and for her absent father to return. When she starts participating in poetry slams, Angie finds some comfort. The solutions to the family's problems are offered too easily, rendering the characters passive; but the resourceful family is likable, and readers will be invested in the story's outcome.
