Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

Newbery Honor winner Joan Bauer's new novel will touch your heart

When twelve-year-old Sugar's grandfather dies and her gambling father takes off yet again, Sugar and her mother lose their home in Missouri. They head to Chicago for a fresh start, only to discover that fresh starts aren't so easy to come by for the homeless. Nevertheless, Sugar's mother has taught her to be grateful no matter what, so Sugar does her best. With the help of a rescue dog, Shush; a foster family; a supportive teacher; a love of poetry; and her own grace and good humor, Sugar comes to understand that while she can't control the hand life deals her, she can control how she responds.

Great book

I loved the story of the book and how the ups and downs were somewhat exciting like for example when Mr.Leeland was going crazy at the end

The Strength to Keep Going

JWright
I enjoy reading books with a child’s voice from a child’s innocent point of view. And a little dog named Shush becomes the young protagonist’s loving companion when her “normal” existence crumbles down around her.

I wish I could have read King Cole’s book with those wise sayings he learned during his life.

This is a story filled with “sweetness,” and Sugar May Cole is a darling!

I loved it!
