In the middle of the night, Louisiana Elefante is suddenly woken by her granny, who insists they must leave town immediately, with no explanation given. As they drive further and further from home, Louisiana slowly realizes just how much her granny has been hiding from her, and when circumstances leave her completely alone in an unfamiliar town, she must find the courage to figure out who she really is and where she truly belongs. This tender, funny, and moving story explores identity, family, and forgiveness with Kate DiCamillo's signature warmth and wisdom. A beautiful standalone read for fans of heartfelt, character-driven stories.
