Unwanted

by Casey Dawes

Overview

Eleven-year-old Alex is shipped off to her grandparents in Montana … again.

 

With her father in jail and her mother in a drug rehab program, Alex feels alone and unwanted. She hates being the new kid in school. And when another tragedy strikes, she fears she'll be sent somewhere else to live. Or will she be able to come up with a better plan?

 

She collects the eggs from the chickens early every morning and does the best she can in school. But a new tragedy strikes, and she isn't sure what will happen. Will her grandmother sell the farm? Will her mother demand she come back to Denver? Will she ever feel safe and secure? Or even happy?

 

This 4th grade chapter book will appeal to students and teachers who enjoy exploring real-life challenges that ultimately lead to a happy ending.
