20 January 2001 TRUE BELIEVER by Virginia Euwer Wolff, Atheneum, February 2001

Eight years after the publication of MAKING LEMONADE, Verna Laughn is back in a spectacular sequel at age 15. Written in the same wonderful prose poetry as the original, Verna chronicles her path as she comes of age amidst the forces of her friends, the adults around her, and the housing project where she lives. This is an incredibly powerful read.
