A sweet historical fiction book for middle grades, about a girl who wants a mom. She's willing to give just about any woman a chance to be her mother figure, but unfortunately the only women she knows are the inmates of the women's prison where her dad is the warden! But she doesn't let that stop her. Cammie is 12 in the summer of 1959, with a best friend but also anger issues over never having known her mom (who died when she was a baby). I liked the 1950s cultural details, the prison setting (which reminded me a lot of Al Capone Does My Shirts), and the characters, especially inmates Eloda and Boo-Boo who befriend Cammie. I'm not sure how often kids will pick this book up on their own, it's more of a "hand sell" or booktalk option, and the nostalgia factor is pretty high. But you might have a reader who enjoyed the Al Capone books looking for something else set in a prison.
