Harry Sue by Sue Stauffacher
4.0
You may have heard about a boy named Sue. Now meet a girl named Harry. Just before her mother went to the joint for making crystal meth in the kitchen, she told her daughter, “You aren’t the kind to invite trouble, so I had to do it for you. You need practice to stand up for yourself properly. No girl named Harry Sue gets pushed around. She’s the kind that goes down fighting.”
Harry figures that the only way she’ll see her mother again is to become a juvenile delinquent and get sent up. But she has a problem, and she knows it.
“Unfortunately, I had a heart condition that needed fixing before I could begin a serious crime spree.
Yes, Fish, my heart was as lumpy and soft as a rotten tomato. I couldn’t stand to see things hurt, especially anything weak and defenseless.”
