Oh Sarah by Florence Musgrave, 247 pages
Sarah is a preacher's kid and everyone expects her to be nicer and
better behaved than other children. But Sarah hates having to go without
because her family has no money and she just wants to be a normal girl in
a normal family and she often lashes out in anger at people because of her
this. Despite her anger, Sarah really does want to be good and tries her
best to be understanding, most of the time. But Sarah's patience is
tested when her mother wants to adopt Sarah's cousins, baby twins.
Sarah just sees more work and less money and is angrier than ever. I
first read this when I was kid and it was not a new book then, but Sarah's
problems are relatable today. This was a used copy I received as a Christmas
present because I loved it so much as a kid and I found that I still loved it
as much today, but it is, unfortunately, not one the library owns.
