An alcoholic mother, a distracted father, a best friend who spends all his time with his new "girlfriend," and three relentless schoolyard bullies: Prinny Murphy's past, present, and future certainly are "tense." Adding to her misery, she still can't read well enough to escape from remedial lessons with the dour Mrs. Dooks. But when a kindly substitute teacher introduces her to LaVaughn's inner-city world in the free verse novel, Make Lemonade, Prinny discovers that life can be full of possibilities – and poetry.

reviewed The Present Tense of Prinny Murphy on October 18, 2011 The Present Tense of Prinny Murphy
I kept wanting to yell at so many people in this book! The clueless adults, the Shrikes, and everyone who perpetuates bullying or simply allows it to happen. I was so mad. But I think it is true that the adults don't always know what is going on and can't step in. I really liked all of the ways that Prinny's classmates stepped in and stood up for each other. And I couldn't help but root for Prinny - what a girl! Although this book got me plenty upset, it was because of the ways people were treating each other, not because of any flaws in the plot or writing. I would highly recommend it, and think it could be a real eye-opener for quite a few kids.
I also love how Ms. MacLean works in Virginia Euwer Wolff's Make Lemonade and how much of an impact the book's main character LaVaughn has on Prinny. Prinny really gets LaVaughn and where she is coming from, and that is an important thing that books can do for you. Prinny learns that things aren't perfect - not in books, and not in the world - and this fabulous book is part of her discovery that she is not alone.
