Ellen Foster is an outstanding book. I choose Ellen Foster off of the reading book list. When I read the quick summary of the book, I knew immediately I had to read it. The book shows heart felt emotions of Ellen's pain. As a reader your able to understand the authors point of view. Ellen Foster focuses on real life situations. This book ranges in subjects from anger, death, racism, and friendship.
Ellen Foster is about an eleven year old girl who is looking for a new family and life. At the age of eleven she has had to endure the death of her mother, father, and grandmother. She has dealt with the abuse of her grandmother, father, and aunts. She grew a hatred for her family and decided to save every penny she owned to buy a new family. Even though thats some of the bad, there is some good. Ellen has a best friend named Starletta. Starletta is treated poorly because she is black, but Ellen sees her in a different light. They grow closer as friends and even keep in touch when Ellen moves. Ellen does accomplish finding a new mom but she went through a lot to get one.
