Where the Heart Is by Jo Knowles

3.0

Nice middle-grade novel about friendship and family and endings and changes. When 13 year old Rachel learns this will be the last summer living in her childhood home, because her family's financial situation means they will have to move, she has to say goodbye to many of her best memories there. During this summer she's also dealing with a changing relationship with her best friend Micah, whose feelings for her are more than a friend--but she doesn't feel that way about him. In fact, she is maybe starting to feel that way about a girl friend from school, and she's all mixed up about that. There are some comical scenes set on the property across the street where Rachel petsits for a variety of farm animals--to varying degrees of success.

I received a copy of this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program.
