Nonfiction by Cathy Glass
Aimee comes to Cathy's house as a foster child because her mother is on drugs and can't take care of her. Her five half-siblings were removed from the mother long ago, but Aimee, the youngest, was left there and seemed to have been forgotten. Although Aimee is eight, she can't read because she's never been to a full day of school, and she's never eaten at real table or slept in a real bed. She's also never taken a bath that she remembers and is infested with lice.
This story is all about the challenge Cathy faces in trying to help Aimee, and how Aimee's mother fights tooth and nail to keep her. It's very interesting.
