FIGHTING WORDS
Ten-year-old Della has not had an easy life. Her mother is in jail and she's never met her father. Her new foster parent doesn't seem to care much about anything besides getting paid, and Della has to navigate the politics of enrolling in a new school. Yet through it all she has always had her older sister Suki, who stopped their mother's boyfriend from assaulting her and helped them to escape. But soon it becomes clear that Suki had made great sacrifices to keep Della safe before they ran away, and the damage to her sister might be too difficult to repair.
