All thirteen-year-old Raspberry can think of is making money so that she and her mother never have to worry about living on the streets again. With her brassy voice and saucy attitude, 13-year-old Raspberry Hill emerges as a vivacious heroine. The author candidly expresses the difficulty in breaking the cycle of poverty and leaves it up to readers to judge Raspberrys acts. (192 pgs) Age 10 +
