He taught her about cars, baseball, and everything else worth knowing. But Grandpa's memory has been getting bad--so bad that he sometimes can't even remember Robbie's name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe's sure that she's making things worse by getting in trouble at school, but she can't resist using her fists when bullies like Alex Carter make fun of her for not having a mom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow she's stuck in group guidance--and to make things even worse, Alex Carter is there too. There's no way Robbie's going to open up about her life to some therapy group, especially not with Alex in the room. Besides, if she told anyone how forgetful Grandpa's been getting lately, they'd take her away from him. He's the only family she has--and it's up to her to keep them together, no matter what.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eJust Like Jackie\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I was truly moved by this refreshing story about a scrappy young heroine and her struggle to protect her family.\"--Sara Pennypacker, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003ePax\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Just Like Jackie is a lovely story of acceptance--about what makes a family and how we make our own families, and about embracing our differences.\"--Ann M.
