Welcome to Litsy!

Crystal and Amber, twin sisters, have their life planned, finishing high school and getting a place of their own, but a baby puts a little bump in their plans.

I really enjoyed the sister relationship and their goals despite where they grew up, a poor neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. I wasn't expecting the twist that happened and it was a nice surprise.

Great contemporary read about accepting consequences and going for your dreams.

Twins Crystal and Amber have the same goal: to be the first in their family to graduate high school and make something of their lives. When one gets pregnant during their junior year, they promise to raise the baby together.

Crystal‘s grades catch the attention of the new guidance counselor, who tells her about a college that offers a degree in automotive restoration. Crystal must make a choice: follow her dreams or honor her promise.

Also, thanks to @hmhbooks @HMHKids for this!! It's been a great book mail week! Looking forward to reading this and sharing with some of my students.

A fast- paced novel with unique characters. Twins Crystal and Amber want different lives as they both work to finish high school. Their family situation is a struggle and there's a baby to take care of; issues other HS students deal with as well. Loved that Crystal is a car fanatic. #outsidethebox

Reading a new fall book about poor kids!
