House You Pass on the Way
A lyrical coming-of-age story from a three-time Newbery Honor-winning author, Jacqueline Woodson.
Thirteen-year-old Staggerlee used to be called Evangeline, but she took on a fiercer name. She's always been different--set apart by the tragic deaths of her grandparents in an anti-civil rights bombing, by her parents' interracial marriage, and by her family's retreat from the world.
This summer she has a new reason to feel set apart--her confused longing for her friend Hazel.
When cousin Trout comes to stay, she gives Staggerlee a first glimpse of her possible future selves and the world beyond childhood.
Target age group 10 and up
