Crazy Lady! by Jane Leslie Conly
4.0

This book takes place during Reagan's presidency, but was published in 1993, and it is very after-school-special. But it's really good. At it's heart is the story of a boy who makes friends with a developmentally disabled neighbor boy, but woven into the story is grief, alcoholism and the effects of poverty, family love and difficult choices.
