review 1: When her father abandons his family after losing his job during the Great Depresson, 11-year-old Lizzie Hawkins struggles to tend to her now-catatonic mother and keep the bank from taking her home. Lizzie works hard to keep her problems from her meddling neighbors for fear her mother will be sent to a mental hospital and she to an orphanage. With the help of her best friend Ben and her own hope and determination, Lizzie finds a way to hold on to what is dear to her while finding out just how strong she really is. Reviewer #8
review 2: I had a hard time truly getting into this story until the very end. I wish I would have read the author's note first in order to really be able to immerse myself in Lizzie's story of trying to survive the Great Depression with p... morehysically and mentally absent parents. I kept questioning how Lizzie's nemesis Erin could be so hurtful and mean until her background was included in the story. I wish there would have been more closure on that aspect. This has potential to start some interesting discussions as a book club book. less
