One For The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt 224 pages
Carley is one unlucky kid. She thinks that might be because there are 13 letters in her name. Or maybe it was some other superstitious thing that cursed her. Whatever it was, it must have been bad, because now she's stuck with the "perfect" family and she feels anything but perfect. The longer she stays with the Murphys, the more she realizes that this kind of family is not only perfect, it's what she wants. How can she face going back to the life she's known when she sees how great her life can be? This was a fantastic book that really captured all sides of a foster family situation. I loved the characters and felt all the hurts and joys they did. Get your tissues ready! This is a current Truman Award nominee.
