Experiencing the Joy — Stephanie Perry Moore

Yasmin is graduating from the eighth grade and headed to high school.  With the help of the LIGHT club, she ends the school year on a positive note, as she learns about self-esteem and true joy. What Yasmin learns will be put to the test over the summer and at the beginning of her first year in high school as she encounters new drama with family and friends.  Through it all and in less than perfect circumstances, Yasmin manages to hold on to her hope, keep her head up and experience joy.
