Lucy Unstrung
LUCY UNSTRUNG is great middle grade fiction about a young girl TRYING to get her very young mother to grow up. Lucy's mother was just a teen when she gave birth. At thirteen, Lucy is a sensible, almost rigid thirteen year-old trying to keep her life together (and her mother's desire to relive her lost teenage years in check), learning all the while that there are problems she must come to terms with and solve for herself.
