As a military child, eleven-year-old Leah moves...a lot. But this summer she will be the one left behind when her best friend's family is reassigned. To make matters worse, her mother will be away for training, leaving Leah at home with her father, who has just returned from deployment. When a new girl moves into her neighborhood, Leah must navigate the ups and downs of making a new friend while avoiding her father's unpredictable mood swings. (From Orca Book Publishers)
