It seems that there was a time in the 1980s when writing about children in foster care was a trend. This middle grade book fits into that category, but there are better examples of the subgenre out there. Here the characters seem trope-ish and flat, and the author's attempt to write in the voice of an eight-year-old doesn't quite succeed. The plot is too simplistic as well, I think: Jenny is sad then she meets Laura and is happy, with a slightly strange attempt at conflict tagged on just before the Happy Ending. So yeah, if you want to explore MG books with foster care as a main subject, I'd look elsewhere. ( )
