But even if her life isn't everything she would wish for, when her big brother is infuriating, her parents don't quite understand, and the unexpected happens, she always finds a way forward, with grace and wit. Ryan is all about trying to see the best in people, to be a good daughter, a good sister, a good friend. As her brother says when he raps about her, she's got the talent that matters most: it's a talent that can't be seen, she's nice, not mean! But Ryan is a girl who knows how to make sunshine out of setbacks. That means some changes, like selling their second car and moving into a new (old) house. Her dad finally has a new job, but money is tight. Ryan Hart has a lot on her mind-school, self-image, and especially family. From Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson comes the first book in a young middle grade series about Ryan Hart, a girl who is pure spirit, kindness, and sunshine.
