About the Book
An exquisite second novel from the Newbery Honor author of RULES! TOUCH BLUE, sure as certain, will touch your heart.
The state of Maine plans to shut
down her island's schoolhouse, which would force Tess's family to move
to the mainland--and Tess to leave the only home she has ever known.
Fortunately, the islanders have a plan too: increase the numbers of
students by having several families take in foster children. So now Tess
and her family are taking a chance on Aaron, a thirteen-year-old
trumpet player who has been bounced from home to home. And Tess needs a
plan of her own--and all the luck she can muster. Will Tess's wish come
true or will her luck run out?
Newbery Honor author Cynthia Lord
offers a warm-hearted, humorous, and thoughtful look at what it means
to belong--and how lucky we feel when we do. Touch Blue, sure as
certain, will touch your heart.
