Product Description:
Carolina lives with her mother and baby sister in an old school bus, and they're always moving just when Carolina seems to get settled. But this time things are different. First Carolina finds an abandoned baby crow and decides to care for him until he's old enough to fly. Then she befriends Stefan, who is as much of a loner as she is. What's going to happen when her mother wants to take off again?

Carolina lives in an old school bus with her mother and baby sister. The family's poverty is poignant yet unsentimental. Despite her mother's objection, Carolina calls her Melanie instead of Mom, because "a real mom wouldn't live in a school bus. Real moms lived in real houses. They were married to the fathers of their children. So she kept calling Melanie Melanie." Carolina makes two new friends: one is an injured baby crow and the other is a Stefan, a wealthy boy just her age who has everything -- except the use of his legs. As always, Hobbs tells her story with clarity and courage. She refuses to dodge the hard questions but makes her characters (and her readers) face them and try to find answers. This is a powerful book about loyalty, friendship, and choices.

Carolina Crow Girl is a fast moving easy to read book! I got it two days ago and spent my Thursday reading and got through a lot more than half! I am not the fastest reader either! If you are looking for an easy to read quick little book this is definately a great pick! It shows how to get along with just enough. You don't need a mansion to go through life.
