Shug is far from perfect, but readers will immediately identify with her and many of the problems she has to face. There's also a serious look at alcohol abuse here, as Shug's mother uses alcohol to comfort herself in the absence of her traveling husband and Shug is pressured to try beer at a party. Shug is a great choice for upper grade school and middle school fans of realistic fiction.
