Three kids face life's storms, discovering friendship, identity, and belonging.
Carley, Ally, and Delsie each navigate life's challenges in their own unique stories. Carley finds herself in a new foster home, Ally battles self-doubt at school, and Delsie seeks true friendship during a transformative summer. As they confront fears and embrace their strengths, they learn that labels don't define them and that they are never truly alone. These tales of resilience and discovery remind us of the power of friendship and the courage to be ourselves. Will they find where they truly belong?
These three unforgettable stand-alone novels from New York Times bestselling author Lynda Mullaly Hunt celebrate unconditional friendship, unconventional families, everyday heroes, and looking beyond the labels, with a healthy dose of humor, heart, and hope. In One for the Murphys, Carley’s life is upended when she becomes a foster child–and is placed in the Murphys’ cookie-cutter-perfect household. In Fish in a Tree, Ally acts out because she is afraid she isn’t smart enough–until she discovers that there’s a lot more to her than a label, and that great minds don’t always think alike. In Shouting at the Rain, Delsie is having a summer of discovery–finding out who her true friends are and where she really belongs. Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s incredible novels remind us that we all have the power to be someone’s hero, that great minds don’t always think alike, and that we don’t have to weather the storms of life alone.
