Drita, My Homegirl
by Jenny Lombard
"Drita has just arrived in New York City from a devastated Kosovo and is worried about her depressed mother, who spends days alone in her room. She misses her best friend from home and longs to make a new friend. But Drita knows little English, and the girls at school make no effort to get to know her-including outspoken, impulsive Maxie, an African-American whose brassy demeanor cloaks a deep sadness." (description from library catalog)

The Mother/Daughter Book Group, called Good Books We Share, meets twice during the summer and periodically during the school year. The girls are in fourth, and fifth grades. The girls and their moms meet to discuss issues such as growing up, relationships, and personal characteristics illustrated in the story.
