Any big readers?? I need help?

I am doing a school project and does anyone know of any books about like a kid going into a foster care or getting a new stepmom?? The project is about living with someone new.

(I like dramatic and suspensful books)

Besides White oleander cause i already read it

Any big readers?? I need help?
There are several very good (but sad) stories of children who were placed in foster care.



They Cage the Animals at Night

by Jennings Michael Burch



There is another set of books (either 2-3) about a boy named David or Dave, who was tortured by his real mother and finally put into foster care. I'll check back with the titles as soon as I can.

I can't remember the author, it's an Australian one, female I think.



I think it would be very appropriate.
Reply:is the person above me making a reference to perhaps a sequel to the critically acclaimed "Go Ask Alice" by anonymous?



im confused and would love to know the answer.
