(3) 4-6 It's 1939, and Frostfree, Florida, is suffering from the worst drought in recent history. Pidge worries about her father's orange groves but also yearns for friendship and tries to learn more about her mother's death. The novel's strong setting and voice allows Pidge to come across as a sympathetic, awkward adolescent struggling to find comfort from both family and society.
