After losing her family, Anna Casey struggles to adjust to life in foster care with Miss Dupree, feeling abandoned and alone. She finds comfort in an explorer journal where she maps the places she has called home. Determined to belong to a real family, Anna forms unexpected friendships—including a new friend, Eb, and a group of unconventional adults and neighborhood kids—who help her discover connection and belonging. Told with warmth and humor, Adrian Fogelin’s novel traces Anna’s journey toward finding her place in the world.
