4. The Silver Star

This is a great little story about 2 sisters who are being raised by a very artistic yet completely irresponsible mother. The mom goes off for days/weeks at a time and the teenage girls have to fend for themselves. They end up going cross country to find their long lost uncle. Reminds me of the Tillermans (Dicey & crew). Not as good as The Tillerman's though, because I love Dicey!
