Three Pennies by Melanie Crowder

4.0

Very nice Juvenile book. I'm trying to read more of this genre for my upcoming 3rd to 5th grade book club. I think this would be a good selection to open some interesting discussions. The main character, Marin, is an orphan in the foster care system in San Francisco. She won't give up on the hope that her mother will come for her and want her back, even when she is living with a woman who would very much like to be her adoptive mother. Oh, and there's an owl who is going through his own issues.
