When Early's father disappears life totally changes for her family. When no money is available and you lose your home, the next place is a homeless shelter. Dash is Early's dad, and she knows that he would never just leave them, so she starts asking questions at the library where her father works. And she realizes that something isn't right. What follows is a mystery that will keep you wanting more.
There are many references to Langston Hughes throughout the book. But here is a quote from the book that I just love. "Reading is a tool no one can take away. A million bad things may happen in life and it'll still be with you, like a flashlight that never needs a battery. Reading can offer a crack of light on the blackest of nights"
Hold Fast is a treasure, that will keep you rooting for the the family, hoping against all odds that they are reunited. $17.99 Scholastic
