The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons
Same spunk. Same sass. Same winning charm. Ellen looks at life through both barrels and aims straight on . . . in this fascinating tale of grit and determination. The News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)In this sequel to Gibbons s beloved classic Ellen Foster, Ellen, now fifteen, is settled into a permanent home with a new mother. Strengthened by adversity and blessed with enough intelligence to design a salvation for herself, she still feels ill at ease. But while she holds fast to the shreds of her childhood, she begins to negotiate her way into a larger world. With a singular mix of perspicacity, naivete, and compassion, Ellen draws us into her life and makes us fall in love with her all over again.
[Ellen Foster] is a few years older, a bit wiser to the ways of the world and just as compelling. St. Louis Post-Dispatch
As [Ellen] uses her considerable resources to move toward understanding and to react, equally, to old losses and sudden good fortune we re right there with her. Chicago Tribune
