MAINE IS A MILLION MILES AWAY
Pre-teen Sarah is devastated when her parents announce their
plans for the family to move to Maine--which seems a world away from her New York City neighborhood. Their precipitous departure is slated for the very afternoon when Sarah’s best friend, Susan, returns from summer camp. The short story (32 pages) reveal her coping techniques as she is wrenched away from Susan and forced to face the social rigors of a new school and strange classmates. Her parents exhibit exceptional understanding and flexibility as they attempt to smooth the city-to-country transition. Why does Sarah cling tightly to her carousel horse, wishing the ride never to end? A precious souvenir becomes the key to acceptance. This little book will appeal to girls who have faced the challenge of starting over in school and friendships. Illustrated by b/w photographs.
