AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ADRIAN FOGELIN follows up her critically acclaimed novel Crossing Jordan with the story of a young girl's trials and triumphs as she tries to find a home.
With warmth and humor, Fogelin has created a memorable character in Anna, who must deal with the loss of her family and adjust to living in a foster home. Feeling abandoned and alone, Anna turns to her closest companion, her explorer journal. With the help of a scrawny new friend named Eb, Anna discovers a sense of belonging… and her own place in the world.

Reviews
"Anna has inner pluck and outer charm: she's been through a lot, but knows what needs to be done. Evocative descriptions bubble up from a deep reality…. And places are found, if not the ones both kids thought they wanted."Booklist "This is a thoughtful coming-of-age story and Anna is an intrepid heroine to whom middle school students will be able to relate."Kliatt
