Official synopsis Publisher
Anna has always been the clumsy one in the family. Somehow she can never do anything right! She bumps into tables, and she can’t read the blackboard at her school. Her perfect brothers and sisters call her “Awkward Anna.” When Papa announces that the family is moving from Germany to Canada, Anna’s heart sinks. How can she learn English when she can’t even read German? Nothing could be worse than this!
But when the Soldens arrive in Canada, Anna learns that there is a reason for her clumsiness. And suddenly, wonderfully, her whole world begins to change.
