Product Description
Olivia is an eleven-year-old girl whose life is turned upside down with no warning. The story begins with Olivia’s family informing her that they will be moving across the country from Los Angeles to Connecticut, in just two weeks’ time. It is the middle of a school year, and Olivia is angry, scared and full of self-pity for all she has to give up. The story follows Olivia’s journey through her first few days in New York, into her new house and surroundings, and onto the rest of her year in the new school as a new student. She feels completely alone and isolated from everything that was once familiar to her. Eventually, Olivia finds an inner strength that helps her create a new life, form a new understanding and relationship with her parents and brother, and the ability to accept, and even love, what her life has become.
