Four sisters search for true family in this story of resilience by Newbery Honoree Polly Horvath.
When the McCready sisters' parents are washed away in a tsunami, Great-Aunt Martha volunteers to have them live with her. But as they’re traveling to Martha’s farm in British Columbia, Martha dies unexpectedly, forcing Fiona, the eldest, to come up with a scheme to keep social services away—a scheme that will only work if no one knows they’re living on their own. Can the sisters pull it off? Or will everything fall apart?
This classic-in-the-making has the charm of Little Women and the adventure of the Penderwicks.
