Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti


When her semi-wealthy stepfather passed away, Noelle and her mother had to move to a small apartment and cut down on the luxuries they'd previously been used to. Living in a wealthy area, this made life hard for Noelle at school - where fitting in is the key to surviving high school. The students, most coming from the same wealthy area, are snobby and cliquish. The people who don't fit into this mold are harassed. Noelle's home life is just as bad. Her mother treats her horribly, neglects to buy her the things she needs, and Noelle has to scrounge around for her lunch every day so she won't starve. Noelle is just trying to survive the last couple of days until summer comes. When the bullying of one of her friends goes to far, Noelle decides to try to fix things. With her newfound love Julian at her side, she decides to take on the bullies and try to change things at her school.
