The first middle grade novel from award-winning author Jessie Ann Foley is a story of broken family ties and the journey one girl must take to find herself. Perfect for fans of When You Trap a Tiger and Shouting at the Rain.After Breda Moriarity gets caught stealing one too many times, Breda's mom sends her to Ireland - a place she has never been - to live with the grandfather she has never met.While Breda doesn't want to be in this strangely beautiful land, she finally gets to meet her granda, her mom's father. He's a grumpy farmer who is also a seanchai, a traditional Gaelic storyteller. But the most important story to Breda is the one nobody will talk about: what happened to her absent father. If nothing else this summer, Breda is determined to figure out the truth about her family's history - and herself.This powerfully poignant middle grade novel asks important questions about immigration, estranged relationships, and family secrets.
