Synopsis

Eleven-year-old Alex is shipped off to her grandparents in Montana … again.

With her father in jail and her mother in a drug rehab program, Alex feels alone and unwanted. She hates being the new kid in school. And when another tragedy strikes, she fears she’ll be sent somewhere else to live. Or will she be able to come up with a better plan?

She collects the eggs from the chickens early every morning and does the best she can in school. She wants to stay with her grandparents forever, but they are getting old. Will they sell the farm? Will her mother demand she come back to Denver? Will she ever feel safe and secure? Or even happy?

This 4th grade chapter book will appeal to students and teachers who enjoy exploring real-life challenges that ultimately lead to a happy ending.

Reviews

I finished Unwanted this afternoon and loved it! I cared about and liked each of the characters. You do a great job with the Montana dialect in your dialog. The conflicts were believable and solutions realistic. – Lisa Brennan, Montana school librarian

À propos de l'auteur

I have lived a varied life-some by choice, some by circumstance. My master's degree in theater didn't prepare me for anything practical, so I've been a teacher, stage hand, secretary, database guru, manager in Corporate America, business coach, book shepherd, and writer. I inherited an itchy foot from my grandfather, traveling to Europe and Australia and many towns and cities across the US while in business. I've lived in towns with a population of 379 and in an apartment complex on 42nd Street and 9th Avenue in Manhattan. I've dragged my belongings from New Jersey ... to Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, California, and Montana. Currently, my husband and I, along with a furry cat named Tigger, are traveling the US in our small travel trailer, looking for new adventures and new books that demand to be written.
