This book was recommended to me by the librarian at the k-8 school where I worked. It was new and she wanted an opinion. I loved it - a great story about a young girl living in a new town where she knows no one - not to mention that her family situation is difficult. She …more shows great strength as she explores that new life and as she learns about who she is. I wish this book had been available to me when I was a young reader. (less)
