A Duet for Home

Karina Yan Glaser is one of my favorite authors.  Her Vanderbeekers series is amazing, so I was thrilled to read her newest book.  It did not disappoint.  Set in a NYC homeless shelter, its themes touch on friendship, struggle and hope.  June, her mother, and sister find themselves homeless after their father died and their mother lapsed into depression.  They are placed at a shelter where a wonderful cast of characters live and work.  However, the manager of the shelter is heartless and the kids hear about a new plan to kick people out of the shelter.  June and her new friends have to get the city to listen to their needs.  (FIC GLA)
