All the Greys on Greene Street by Laura Tucker
3.0
3.5
this is most definitely a middle school read as opposed to a middle grade read in my opinion. The writing is beautiful and the story is heart rendering. The details of the 80’s era, of New York and the process (actually driving need) to create art, balance the realities of a story of abandonment. Olympia is neglected by her Mom who is in the grips of depression and her father has disappeared. She is processing it all as she traverses her days with the help of her friends and other adults she has grown up with. Well written, All the Greys on Greene Street by Laura Tucker is worth the read.
