(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Finley Hart is spending the summer at her estranged grandparents' house. A natural observer, she writes stories about a fantastical forest whose mythology she develops as a way of understanding her family, why she doesn't fit in, and her recurring sadness. Vivid first-person narration and fully developed characters provide a rich backdrop for Finley's process of understanding herself and those around her.
