I happened on a thrift store last weekend and gravitated to… the book nook.
My mission was to find a few books to offer my 15 year old granddaughter.
This book had a Scholastic label and an interesting synopsis.
<So I bought it… brought it home and… I READ IT>
It was a delightful read! I loved it!
Thirteen year old Heidi was living a nontraditional life with a mentally disabled mother and a caregiving neighbor who had her own baggage. Then, one day, she needs answers to “who she is?” and “where she came from?”. Her trek to find answers and her innocent approach to life’s toughest themes made this tale both gripping and heartwarming.
I highly recommend it to kids age 13 to 100!
It was made into a movie in 2017. I had no idea until I looked for the Amazon image for this post.

Sometimes the best books are found in these sorts of places.
It’s like searching for treasure. I agree!
