My favorite book is called Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolff, written in 1993. I didn’t know the author, or anything about the book. I needed to read a certain number of books, and I decided to do some research to choose an author and she seemed interesting.
The book is about a teenage girl about 14 years old who takes on a babysitting job. Her name is La Vaughn, and she tries to save up all of the money she makes so she can go to college. The reason she has to save her money is because she grows up in poverty and wants to get a better job and move out of poverty. The girl she babysits for is named Jolly, and she has two kinds named Jeremy, and Jilly. This family also lives in poverty, but a worse place than La Vaughn. Towards the end, Jolly and La Vaughn end up becoming really good friends, and there is another book that I haven’t read yet.
