Allie Claybrook is stuck in tiny Edna, Idaho, living with Grandma while her dad serves a long deployment in Iraq. Just as she's given up on ever fitting in, a quiet new girl named Ivy arrives, and the two become instant best friends. Through goats, sleepovers, a mean-girl rival, a wedding, and a frightening fire, Allie learns what family, courage, and home really mean. A warm, funny middle-grade story for kids of military families and anyone who's ever felt like the new kid.

  • A rare, kid-friendly story that gives children of deployed service members a character who feels exactly what they feel.
  • Dedicated to the children of America's armed forces—an ideal gift for military families.
  • Funny grandma sayings, a rescued baby goat, and a green-bean handshake make the heavy topics land light.
  • Crossover appeal: no LDS background needed, perfect for school libraries and any patriotic gift occasion.
“Grandma always said that God brings people together at certain times and in certain places because they need each other. Earth's angels, she calls them. Well, Ivy and I—we were each other's Earth angels.”

Perfect for an 8-to-12-year-old, especially a child of a deployed service member, who loves warm, funny stories about friendship, family, and fitting in as the new kid.
