Quaking by Kathryn Erskine
You might not know just from looking at someone that they are a foster child. Well 14 yr old Matilda is a foster child who is placed in a new home. The parents in this particular home are Quakers but they also have a son who is disabled. Matilda is having a difficult time getting adjusted to school because people bully her and her Civics teacher dislikes her. Matilda seems to overcome all these challenges and is no longer shy but somehow viewed as a hero in many people's eyes.
