NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Kirkus Reviews • CCBC • Reading
Middle Grade
★ "Delightful ... It's hard to write with such simple authenticity: The world
needs more stories like this." --Kirkus Review, starred review
★ "Caroline Hickey portrays the full emotional cycle of deployment with
accuracy and compassion. Immersive first-person chapters, which each open with
a geography fact, accurately convey the comfort and the isolation that can
accompany an intense special interest alongside Ginny's broadening recognition
of the needs of the people around her." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
A heartfelt coming-of-age novel about trying to find one's place in the world
perfect for fans of Judy Blume, The Fourteenth Goldfish, and The
Miscalculations of Lightning Girl.
There are two things Ginny Pierce loves most in the world: geography facts and
her father. But when her dad is deployed overseas and Ginny's family must move
to yet another town, not even her facts can keep her afloat. The geography
camp she's been anxiously awaiting gets canceled, and her new neighbors prefer
her basketball-star sister. Worst of all, her dad is in a war zone and
impossible to get ahold of. Ginny decides that running her own camp for the
kids on her street will solve all her problems. But can she convince them (and
herself) that there's more to her than just facts?
With a fierce heart and steadfast determination, Ginny tackles the challenges
and rewards of staying true to herself during a season of growth. This
thoughtful novel explores the strength that develops through adversity; Ginny
must learn to trust her inner compass as she navigates the world around her.
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
