By Helen Frost
Two girls confront a shared past and hidden truths at summer camp.
Years after a childhood incident ties them together, Wren and Darra meet at summer camp. Wren was hidden in a stolen van, and Darra's father was the thief. Now, they must face the past and uncover the truths they've kept hidden. Can they bridge the gap between them and find answers to the questions that have haunted them for years? This novel-in-poems explores the power of memory and the resilience of friendship.
When Wren Abbott and Darra Monson are eight years old, Darra’s father steals a minivan. He doesn’t know that Wren is hiding in the back. The hours and days that follow change the lives of both girls. Darra is left with a question that only Wren can answer. Wren has questions, too. Years later, in a chance encounter at camp, the girls face each other for the first time. They can finally learn the truth–that is, if they’re willing to reveal to each other the stories that they’ve hidden for so long. Told from alternating viewpoints, this novel-in-poems reveals the complexities of memory and the strength of a friendship that can overcome pain.
