Editor's Pick: This is the story of Gilly, a foster girl who is smart and stubborn. She has been through several foster homes and always dreams of her birth mother coming to take her back. The book portrays her relationship with her foster mom, Trotter, in a very realistic way — from resistance to slowly letting her guard down — and it never feels overly sentimental. It's suitable for upper elementary through middle school kids, and it's not too long, with easy-to-understand language.
