From Clementine author Sara Pennypacker, this is a poignant
middle-grade novel about two foster children who must find a way to work
together in order to survive.
Eleven-year-old Stella misses her (unreliable) mom, but she loves it at
great-aunt Louise's house. Louise lives on Cape Cod, where Stella hopes
her mom will someday come and settle down. The only problem? Angel, the
foster kid Louise has taken in. The two girls live together but there's
no way they'll ever be friends.
Then Louise suddenly passes away one morning--and Stella and Angel
decide not to tell anyone. Now they have to depend on each other for
survival. Now they are forced to trust each other with the biggest
secret ever.
With great empathy and humor, Sara Pennypacker tells the story of two
very different girls who unexpectedly become each other's true family.
