One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

4.0

8th grader Carley Connors has found herself in foster care after a situation with her stepdad got out of hand. Carley can't understand why Mrs. Murphy is so nice to her, especially when the only reason she's there is because her own mother can't take care of her.

This is probably a good reluctant reader book, but also good for kids to understand what it's like to be in foster care. Carley's also a great character, so from the beginning I really cared what happened to her.
