Ages 10-12.
Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight across the Atlantic, leaving behind family, friends, and Romania -- the only home Lia has ever known. Lia is thrust into a world where everything is different: her home, her language, and even her body. So many changes all at once cause Lia to struggle. Will she ever feel like herself again? |
Ages 10-12 Twelve-year-old Luna never wanted to move from California to Virginia, and she definitely doesn't want to live with a very formal grandmother she barely knows. But during a visit to the National Museum of Natural History, the rarely seen luna moth for which Luna was named sparks her curiosity. Using her mother's old naturalist notebooks as a guide, Luna, who has always preferred the indoors, endeavors to see a real luna moth with her own eyes. Learning more about nature just might help her make a new friend, figure out how to feel at home in her new life, and understand the mother she never got the chance to know. |
