In 1933, young Margo Bandini faces a daunting challenge: her family is on the brink of losing their home. As the Great Depression tightens its grip, a Sheriff Sale sign threatens their security. With just two weeks to find a solution, Margo's courage and determination are put to the test. Can she find a way to help her father save their home, or will they be forced to leave everything behind? Dive into Margo's world and discover how far one girl will go to protect her family.
From the publisher
Eleven-year-old Margo Bandini has never been afraid of anything. Her life in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, with Mama and Papa and her little brother, Charlie, has always felt secure. But it’s 1933, and the Great Depression is changing things for families all across America. One day the impossible happens: Papa cannot make the payments for their house, and the Sheriff Sale sign goes up on their door. They have two weeks to pay the bank, or leave their home forever. Now Margo is afraid–but she’s also determined to find a way to help Papa save their home.
