Book Review: Following Dreams
Summary: 4 Stars
This book tells the story of a fourteen-year-old girl living in a bad city neighborhood with her mom. Her dad was killed in gang crossfire years ago, although he himself was not involved in any gangs. This girl, LaVaughn, is determined to earn money and keep her grades up so she will be able to go to college. Her mother does everything she can to support this dream, and pushes LaVaughn to do her best in school and stay on track.
Then LaVaughn gets a job babysitting for a seventeen-year-old mother of two children. They live in squalid conditions, in a filthy apartment with a roach problem. LaVaughn, against her mother's wishes, sticks with the job even when she stops getting paid, and helps the mother of these children start to put her life back together.
I liked the style of this book, the way it is written in blank verse poetry. This style, plus the conversational tone LaVaughn uses in her narration, really keep the story moving along. I think the story could have had a better ending, although there is a sequel to this book that makes things a bit better.
