In fact, it seems like the town’s full of strays–only some end up where they belong sooner than others. Richard Peck has created a rich, compassionate story that will go straight to the heart of every kid who’s ever felt like an outsider.”This sensitive heroine is one readers will want to take under their wing.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
