Save me a Seat by Sarah Weeks & Gita Varadarajan The only thing Charlie really worries about is making her wish every day, in one of her innumerable ways, because she's been wishing for the same thing since she was little. While there, Charlie meets Howard, the neighbor boy, and sets out to catch the local stray dog and make him her own. Of course, these "friends" don't send her any letters of call her while she's at her aunt and uncles, but that doesn't seem to faze her. Charlie doesn't like any of this and wants to be able to go back home to Raleigh and be with her friends. Scrappy, Charlie's dad is "getting corrected" at the local detention center, and her older sister Jackie is sent to stay with a friend. Summary: Charlie has been sent to live with her aunt Bertha and uncle Gus while her mama "gets back on her feet." Of course, Charlie doesn't know how long that will take, since it seems like mama is better at staying in her bathrobe and drinking diet coke all day than taking care of her kids.
