Summer of the Gypsy Moths by Sara PennypackerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stella lives with her great aunt, Louise, while her mother is trying to get her life together. Readers learn that Stella's mom has spent most of her life trying to get it together but 12 year old Stella has hope that this time will be different than the rest. Stella isn't alone at Louise's house--Louise has also taken in another 12 year old girl as a foster child. When Louise unexpectedly passes away, the girls hide the fact she is dead so they can avoid ending up in the foster care system. They take care of the summer cottages and find ways to survive on their own. While not fully plausible (I would hope) it's still a great story!
