Rent Party Jazz (Paperback)

In this story set in 1930s New Orleans, a boy named Sonny and his single mother face eviction from their home after she loses her job. Sonny searches for a way to save his home and comes up with a creative idea when a street musician named Smilin` Jack recommends that he and his mom throw a rent party--a party in which friends and neighbors make contributions to help those in financial need.
