(3) 4-6 Maddie is fascinated by Murphy, a new girl who arrives at the East Tennessee Children's Home with tales of traveling overseas and knowing how to float through the air. The girls, along with several friends, build and decorate a fort where they create stories about their future lives. The well-written story balances the stabilizing influence of friendship with the often painful realities of the children's lives.
