Sixth-graders June and Tyrell, two friends living in a homeless shelter, confront a new housing policy that would force families experiencing homelessness at risk

Ages 8-12

It's June's first day at Huey House, and as if losing her home weren't enough, she also can't bring her cherished viola inside. Before the accident last year, her dad saved tip money for a year to buy her viola, and she's not about to give it up now. Tyrell has been at Huey House for three years and gives June a glimpse of the good things about living there: friendship, hot meals, and a classical musician next door. Can he and June work together to oppose the government, or will families be forced out of Huey House before they are ready? -- adapted from back cover
