After Kaede's mom died in a car crash, he went to live with his grandpa that he barely knows. But now, he's in danger of failing 7th grade, so they are hoping that a trip to Japan to stay with his dad for a while will help turn things around. Kaede's older half brother meets him at the airport and seems excited to show him around - but Kaede can't help but wonder when he'll see his long absentee father. While in Japan, Kaede also needs to complete a journal about the meaning of home in order to move on to 8th grade when he comes back from his trip.
While mostly predictable, this is a lovely story about family and complicated relationships.

I am utterly smitten with All the Ways Home. Talk about a book that hits all my sweet spots: a complex family relationship, a main character struggling with his mistakes and forgiveness, and the concept of what home is. If you're searching for a book that will evoke all the emotions on the spectrum, All the Ways Home is the one.

Okay I read a draft of this and I really loved it. It’s about brothers and grieving and being hurt and finding home when your old home has been ripped from you. It is sweet and I liked it so much.
