Keesha's House by Helen Frost

5.0

This book is truly amazing. Using traditional poetic forms and a full array of voices, Frost tells the story of Keesha's house and the family she builds there. Some of the kids have families they can trust and safe homes to go back to. Others, including Keesha, don't. We hear about them from themselves and from each other, as well as hearing from some adults in their lives, who often don't know how to do enough, but some of whom come through. We see the dangers, the tragic consequences, but also the many ways to survive.
