(3) YA When news of the U.S. president's assassination reaches Radley (who's volunteering at a Haitian orphanage), she's desperate to get home. Government clampdown aside, Radley returns to Vermont to find her parents gone. She hikes to Canada, hoping for a reunion. Tense pacing and bleak scenarios give the story its weight. Photographs by Hesse underscore the darkness and also offer hope in nature.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
