A very quick read, this was my car book for the past few days. It's the story of Sunny, who has been farmed out to a variety of foster homes but wants to find her twin sister, Starr. When the story opens, Sunny is living with Rita, in another foster home, and for the first time, has found someone who seems genuinely kind and caring. But she can't stop thinking of her sister. In typical tween fashion, she sets out on her own instead of enlisting Rita's help and has several adventures on her way to find her sister.
I think kids will like this story. One, it's by Peg Kehret and she's very popular with the younger set, and two, it's a quick, fairly easy and pretty compelling story, even it it is sort of unrealistic. Finally, there's a stray dog-a really sweet stray dog. What's not to like?!
