Peas and Carrots
Peas and Carrots | Tanita S. Davis
10 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
A rich and memorable story from a Coretta Scott King honor award-winning author about a teenage foster girl looking for a place to call home. Dess knows that nothing good lasts. Disappointment is never far away, and thats a truth that Dess has learned to live with. Desss mothers most recent arrest is just the latest in a long line of disappointments, but this one lands her with her baby brothers foster family. Dess doesnt exactly fit in with the Carters. Theyre so happy, so comfortable, so normal, and Hope, their teenage daughter, is so hopelessly nave. Dess and Hope couldnt be more unlike each other, but Austin loves them both like sisters. Over time their differences, insurmountable at first, fall away to reveal two girls who want the same thing: to belong. Tanita S. Davis, a Coretta Scott King Honor winner, weaves a tale of two modern teenagers defying stereotypes and deciding for themselves what it means to be a family.

@HardcoverHarlot Chloe and Holly could be besties. Although Chlo did get up, plop down beside the book, and commence to shunning. I think that's more participatory distaste than simply ignoring me. #bassetlife

@HardcoverHarlot My Chloe is as bored with my choice as your basset is intrigued with yours. Just like my beast to sleep through the good life and the good books 😊

Dess is a foster kid with trust issues so leniency is expected. But, she is snarky with everyone whether it's in their faces or in her thoughts. She's at her snarkiest when it comes to her foster family.

Happy National Read a Book Day! I hope you spend it appropriately. 😉

The weather here is getting hot again. It makes me sad. Autumn is my fave season and I want it this year. Our fall and spring seem shorter every year and all we get are extremes. ☹️

Happy National Cheese Pizza Day! Any excuse to celebrate! Also, JUST noticed this: how appropriate is it that Elizabeth Wein's blurb on this book is "A piercing, true slice of real life."? ?

I'm starting a 2nd challenge today, so this post takes care of two things!

#lilbookishaugust - Day 15 of 31: Orange Books. Orange #books are kinda hard to find! Or maybe the books I buy just don't happen to be orange. Luckily I had this #library book to include.

Reading this for my Diverse YA Book Club. Super cute so far! I love that it's about the dynamics of a foster family.

Mehso-so

Good story centered around foster families and foster kids. It's very tame reading, almost elementary.

nicolekukral I agree it feels young for YA 8y
