---

This was a sweet and touching read. I liked the positive influences in Tyrell's life and that the ending was satisfying but open-ended. Glaser managed to give a bird's eye view on issues of homelessness and family dysfunction while still making this kid-appropriate. A Duet for Home offered a nuanced approach that I really appreciated.

I'm only rating A Duet for Home four stars because I didn't love this (solely because I'm an adult reading a middle grade book).

4 Stars.
