Living at Langster Motel is a story about friendship and a young girl’s embarrassment about the place where she lives and her struggle in accepting her importance in the unique community she is a part of.

Thirteen-year-old Cali Jarvis isn’t really homeless. She just doesn’t live in a normal home. Instead, she lives in single room with her mother and two sisters at Langster Motel. In addition to her family, there are plenty of other people who live at the motel, including way too many little kids, an assortment of parents, three high school kids, an old man, and just two 13-year-olds—Cali and her best friend Rivka. Living at Langster Motel is no vacation for anyone, but when you’re in middle school, it’s downright embarrassing.

When Cali and Rivka start at their new school, Cali is determined to reinvent her life and change her image from being a nobody to being a somebody. She convinces Rivka that their ticket to popularity at their new school is to get in good with a group of popular girls, and Cali’s willing to do plenty to achieve that goal. The biggest challenge is to do it without anyone finding out where she and Rivka live.
