Description
Like 'The Thing About Jellyfish' and 'Counting by 7s,' this sweet, heartfelt middle grade novel illustrates for readers what it's like to tackle loss, confront hard truths, and find the courage to begin again. Macy Hollinquest is eleven years old, and don't count on her to change that anytime soon. Her birthday is just days away, but she has no intention of turning twelve without her dad by her side. He'd promised to be there for her big day-and yet he's been gone for months, away doing some kind of secret 'important work' after being discharged from the Marines. So she's staying eleven, no matter what-that is, until she meets Ginger, a nice older lady who is searching for her missing dog. Could Ginger be the perfect cover for attempting to locate her dad? Macy's search puts her on a path to a head-on collision with the truth, where she discovers that knowing can sometimes be a heavy burden. And that change, when finally accepted, comes with an unexpected kind of grace. Mary Penney's earnest, heartfelt story of change, loss, and new beginnings will resonate with readers on the cusp of new beginnings, and stay in their hearts long after it's done.
