When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. There’s just one problem—Gage doesn’t actually have a place to live.

When Ari’s mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when nineteen-year-old Gage decides he can no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knows she has to go with him. But it’s been two months, and Gage still hasn’t found them an apartment. He and Ari have been "couch surfing," staying with Gage’s friend in a tiny apartment, crashing with Gage’s girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.



Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4–7—Eleven-year-old Ari dreams of going to Carter, a middle school for gifted students. It was one of her mother's dying wishes, and it seems within reach. But when her older brother, Gage, decides he can no longer live with their guardian, Janna, Ari leaves with him. She doesn't know that they have no apartment, and Gage has no steady job. For months they sleep on friends' couches or at shelters. Ari's grades drop, she has trouble keeping clean, and she can't explain to anyone why. Her only comfort comes from her "paper things," a collection of people cut from catalogs that she knows she should have outgrown years earlier. As Ari's dreams slide further from reach, she must decide what she wants for herself. Narrator Kate Rudd brings Ari's innocence and strength to life in this story of a homeless girl, who, with the help of many kind people along the way, finds where she belongs. VERDICT A wonderful addition to middle grade collections.—Amanda Rollins, Northwest Village School, Plainville, CT --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Review
This novel will engender empathy and understanding of a serious and all-too-real problem. Jacobson’s story is poignant but never preachy.
—School Library Journal (starred review)

Jacobson elevates her book beyond "problem novel" territory with an engaging narrator who works hard to be loyal to her brother—and to her mother’s memory. Small moments pack big emotional wallops... A tender exploration of homelessness.
—Publishers Weekly

Powerful... It is well written, with a moving plot, and is told in an authentic voice that pulls the reader in. ... Jacobson tells a story that is authentic and relatable to a wide audience of readers. This novel is a definite must-purchase for a library’s collection.
—VOYA

Ari's plight vividly illustrates the myriad consequences of homelessness, and the adults around her who should be picking up on the numerous clues to her situation seem oblivious. Her perceptive first-person voice neatly captures her conflicted loyalty to Gage but also to Janna, as well as her valiant attempts to make an impossible situation work out. ... A thoughtful and moving exploration of homelessness.
—Kirkus Reviews

In this poignant view of one child’s experience with homelessness, Jacobson deftly shows how easily it can happen, an insidious downward spiral with heart-wrenching consequences.
—The Horn Book

Through Ari’s resiliency, Jacobson introduces readers to the precarious and frightening life of a homeless elementary-school student who holds fast to her dreams and the only family she knows. It is her mature sense of her own needs that informs the adults who love her and helps them to understand how they might build a future together.
—Booklist

Paper Things treats honesty, compassion and generosity as things we can never have too much of in life. Here’s hoping it inspires more of the same in its readers.
—BookPage

Ari’s struggle to stay afloat as the bottom drops out of her world is compelling...readers will be glad to see her successfully negotiate her divided loyalties and find a safe home.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Jacobson’s realistic fiction novel provides a rich context for dialogue about recognizing the signs of homelessness and providing resources to students and families.
—Literacy Daily
