SWCC Reads... What Momma left me/ by: Renee Watson

This book is very interesting and the 5th graders love it.. 

After the death of their mother, thirteen-year-old Serenity Evans and her younger brother go to live with their grandparents, who try to keep them safe from bad influences and help them come to terms with what has happened to their family. Despite the difficulties of a new school, a new church and a new neighborhood, Serenity gains strength from the family around her, the new friend she finds, and her optimism.......

The author's talent shines in this powerful and ultimately uplifting first novel, celebrating one girl's gift for finding joy in the darkest times of life.
