A Handful Of Stars by Cynthia Lord, 184 pages
Lily is determined to save enough money top get her dog, Logan,
cataract surgery. Logan, partly because of his blindness, leads Lily to a
meeting with Salma, a migrant worker who is helping her family pick
blueberries. Salma and Lily end up becoming friends. Salma helps
Lily paint mason bee houses, which Lily is selling to make money for Logan's
operation. Lily ends up helping Salma when Salma decides to enter the
Downeast Blueberry Queen contest. Between all of their activities, Lily
and Salma help each other understand the meaning of true friendship and even
manage to help Logan along the way. I really enjoyed this book.
Kids who like realistic fiction should definitely pick this one up.
