Leaves in October by ? deals with a motherless family where the father is une mployed and seeking a job. The two children and the father end up at a shelter for the homeless while he seeks employment. It raises some interesting father/child issues in addition to its focus on the homeless. (Different commmunications sof tware and screen is throwing my typing off while on-line--sorry for the spaces. ) In fact, it sticks out in my mind as being the one book I would recommend about father/child in a single situation as it could lead to a lot of discussion. It is also one of the nominees for the South Carolina Children's Book Award for 1994. Freida Hammett, Media Specialist, Centerville Elementary, 1529 Whitehall Road, Anderson, SC 29625
