I love A Solitary Blue but I also love Dicey's Song (and did when I was twelve.) It might be worth a revisit. I didn't find it grim despite the mother's death, as everyone's obviously in a much better situation. The one I thought was depressing was Seventeen Against the Dealer, which unfortunately is also the last book in the series.
