5/5
I liked that the culture was exhibited throughout the book, and that each chapter was told from a new point of view.

Make Lemonade by Virginia Wolff
4/5 Stars
LaVaughn needs a job so that she can earn money so that she can go to college. She sees a posting for a babysitter and calls the number. When she shows up for the job she meets Jolly a teenage mother of two. LaVaughn has a bad feeling from the start that this won't be the money making opportunity that she imagined. She watches the kids and begins to be-friend Jolly. The two girls struggle and fight together to learn how to change their circumstances. It is written in a prose format that makes it easy to read. This is a touching glimpse of urban life.
Grades 8 - 11.
