Home, and other big, fat lies / Jill Wolfson. New York : Henry Holt, 2006. 281 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier The new novel from Jill Wolfson- an exciting, fresh voice in middle-grade fiction Whitney has been in so many foster homes that she can give a complete rundown on the most common varieties of foster parents- from the look-on-the-bright-side types to those unfortunate examples of pure evil. But one thing she doesn' t know much about is trees. This means heading for Foster Home #12 (which is all the way at the top of the map of California, where there looks to be nothing "but" trees) has Whitney feeling a little nervous. She is pretty sure that the middle of nowhere is going to be just one more place where a hyper, loud-mouthed kid who is messy and small for her age won' t be welcome for long. Jill Wolfson has woven together the stories of an irrepressible foster child and a deeply divided small town with incredible humor and compassion. 680L Lexile.
