Note: Unfortunately, the Youngbloods Book Club no longer exists, but you can still check out the book at www.kckpl.org.

Pearl deals with death, life, and family in this haunting, humorous, and poignant debut. Fifteen-year-old Pearl’s world turns upside down when her mom dies after giving birth to her baby sister Rose, who looks exactly like a baby rat, and has destroyed everything, even ruined the wonderful relationship that Pearl had with her stepfather. Told across the year following her mother’s death, Pearl’s story is full of bittersweet humor and heartbreaking honesty. She tries not only to come to terms with losing her mother, but also the fact that her sister “the Rat” is a constant reminder of why her mom is no longer around.
