Any books similar to "No Promises In The Wind" or "The Lottery Rose" ?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how similar these books are, because I haven't read the ones you're asking about, but here is a list of books that Amazon.com said were bought by people who bought the two books you mention:

Notes from a Liar and Her Dog by Gennifer Choldenko
Chicken Boy by Frances O'Roark Dowell
