(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Andrew Parker. Repeating third grade and frustrated over her inability to read, Juice Faulstich is chronically truant from school. Meanwhile, Pa is out of work, Ma is pregnant with a sixth child, and their rural house is facing foreclosure. Juice describes her steps toward maturity--which include returning to school--with a plainspoken immediacy that convincingly reflects both her age and circumstances.
