Mister and Me by Kimberly Willis Holt
Jolene's family was just Momma and Grandpa until big, loud Leroy Redfield started taking Momma dancing. Jolene refuses to call him anything but Mister. Without a name, he isn't a real person to her. But then Jolene learns that Mister wants to marry Momma. Is there anything Jolene can do to make him go away? The warmth and love in the Johnson household envelops the novel. Jolene's willingness to face the uncertainties of her future may well give courage to readers confronting sea changes of their own.-Publishers Weekly Awards: ( New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing( A Texas Bluebonnet Master List Book
