(2) 4-6 When her single-parent mother is called up from the army reserves to go to Saudi Arabia for the opening phase of the 1990 Persian Gulf War, seventh-grader Jasmyn must adjust to a newly chaotic life in her small Maine seacoast town. Mead paints an entirely convincing and involving picture of a realistically prickly heroine as she balances worry about her mom with resentment at being left behind.
