Summer on the Moon

(4) 4-6 When his estranged great-grandfather offers to buy Socko's mom a suburban house--if they become his caretakers--she jumps at the chance to escape the impoverished inner city. Socko mourns leaving his best friend behind and struggles to adjust to the strange new situation. Although the story is slow, it provides an interesting examination of the limits of helping others.
