Today's YA pick is Miracle's Boys, a winner of the Coretta Scott King Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, by Jacqueline Woodson. Milagro' s boys have been left orphaned, first by their dad and now by Milagro, too. They are on their own. Ty'ree gives up a hard-won scholarship to college raise his little brothers, Charlie comes back from Rahway Correctional someone who Lafayette doesn't know and Lafayette wonders how they will salvage enough family cohesiveness to make it through. This is a beautiful story about family and hard times.
