Spitting Image

This is an okay book written by Shutta Crum. Jessie Bovey is a 12-year-old girl living in a small town in Kentucky. She is constantly getting into fights with other kids who tease her. She lives with her single mother who refuses to tell her anything about her real father. When a government volunteer comes to town to spread President Johnson's War on Poverty, Jessie befriends the reporters and shows them around. The ending has a serious tone about an adult subject.
