Publisher Description
Jolly is seventeen. She can’t really spell. She doesn’t have much of a job. And she has two little kids from two different, absent fathers. Jolly knows she can’t cope with Jilly and Jeremy all by herself. So she posts a notice on the school bulletin board: BABYSITTER NEEDED BAD. No one replies but Verna LaVaughn, who’s only fourteen. How much help can she be? For a while, Jolly, Jilly, Jeremy, and LaVaughn are an extraordinary family. Then LaVaughn takes the first steps toward building her own future, and Jolly begins the long, slow process of turning the lemons of her life into lemonade. “Powerfully moving.” –Kirkus Reviews, pointer “Radiant with hope.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review

" This is a good book and is written in poetic prose, so it is a quick read. I'm disappointed in the audio. The protagonist is 14, but the narrator speaks in a little girl voice and it changes the intended tone of the novel. When downloaded to my desktop, each chapter is a separate file. If I want to speed up the slow pace, I have to do this for each chapter. "
