I\u2019m looking for a young adult book about:<\/tt><\/p>\n
Young mother with 2 girls, they lost their house to a fire, and therefore lost everything including their dolls and toys. I remember these phrases \u201cMaybe a mouse in a box of matches\u201d, and \u201cI\u2019ve got both my girls.\u201d \u00a0They stay with relatives\/friends and the girls have to sleep on an old sofa that due to the springs it is uncomfortable and creaks. <\/tt><\/p>\n
The mom finds a job as a cleaner in a motel\/hotel. \u00a0They find a new home. \u00a0Outside their new home is a crab apple tree where the girls play catch with an apple. Somebody tells them about a place where they can borrow dolls and if they take good care of the dolls, they can adopt them. \u00a0They walk with their mom to find this place. Just when they are about to give up, they find it. \u00a0<\/tt><\/p>\n
The younger girl finds a doll and names it \u201cBaby.\u201d \u00a0Both girls are happy and one of them says \u201cThere is so much to do now\u201d. \u00a0The mother sews the dolls new clothes and the girls are happy. However, a neighbors dog licks off the face of \u201cBaby\u201d and the younger girl runs back to the place where she borrowed it from to return the doll, knowing she won\u2019t be able to adopt it. <\/tt><\/p>\n
So, now she won\u2019t be able to join her sister in the adoption party. At the end of the story, the doll \u201cBaby\u201d is returned to the younger girl, all fixed up with a new face. \u00a0The man said because the younger girl showed responsibility with the doll by immediately bringing it back to the place where she picked it out, she is allowed to adopt it. This happened at the very end of the adoption party. <\/tt><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
