Cloud Dancer

by Mary Ann McGuigan

Book Overview

Eileen hates being poor, so she pretends she's not and dreams of an escape-having a guitar. Her mother struggles to support the family, and they're forbidden to mention their brother Neal's stuttering. Liz, a college student, offers a guitar and help for Neal. Eileen earns the money for both, but unless she can tell the truth about who she is, her dreams can't come true. But for Eileen, trusting someone is a dangerous thing.

Customer Reviews

Well written, sensitive and charming

A wonderful exploration of the human spirit, temptation and work ethic. This little book will make you cry and laugh. It is loaded with insight, has a gentle touch, good pace and excellent character development. Highly recommended for anyone, of any age, but especially relevant to the 10-16 crowd.
