(2) YA Twelve-year-old Feni, already dealing with her beloved grandmother's death and her parents' divorce, learns that a pregnant teenager--the daughter of her mother's college friend--is coming to live with them until her baby is born. Woodson's strikingly original story, with its richly developed characters, makes this a welcome reissue.
