Remember all those dear characters in 'Little House on the Prairie' and how they suffered through so many hard times without losing hope, resilience, or kindness? That's who the three main characters in this book remind me of. The young orphans try to find a place that they can find acceptance and a sense of belonging. A good historical fiction book for younger readers.

It has the same flavor as a Lemony Snicket book.

I really liked this book!
It's about an 11 yr. old girl dealing with the struggles of living one week with her mom and one week with her dad. She's also half white, half black. She loves playing piano, discovers the beauty in poetry, and is just basically trying to figure out just who she is. I loved this girl...I loved Isabella/Izzy. This is a great #middleschoolbookpick #goldensowernominee
Great conversation starters about race and divorce.
