(3) 4-6 Whitney--a.k.a. "Termite"--is a foster kid with lots of energy and a big mouth. Her twelfth foster home is located in a depressed logging town in rural northern California, where she unexpectedly falls in love with nature and the great outdoors. Termite's first-person narration--including misheard and mixed-up phrases--is both hilarious and heartwarming without being sappy.
