Preview: Hear it

Elevenyearold Megan is stuck in the wilds of Vermont for the summer with no TV, no Internet, no cell phone, and worst of all, no best friend. So when Megan gets lost on the Appalachian Trail with only her little dog, Arp, for company, she decides she might as well hike all the way to Massachusetts where her best friend, Lucy, is spending her summer. Life on the trail isnt easy, and Megan faces everything from wild animals and raging rivers to tofu jerky and life without bathrooms. Most of all, though, Megan gets to know herselfboth who shes been in the past and who she wants to be in the futureand the journey goes from a spurofthemoment lark to a quest to prove herself to Lucy, her family, and the world! Firsttime novelist Jane Kelley uses the light touch of humor to let in the sunlight. Bravo!Sid Fleischman, Newbery Awardwinning author
