Perfect for fans of One for the Murphys and Paper Things , this heart-wrenching middle grade debut considers homelessness from one girl\'s perspective and explores deep truths about the resounding impact of empathy.
Emotional and compassionate, Shelter looks at homelessness through one girl\'s eyes and explores the power of empathy, friendship, and love..
But even on the rainiest days, there\'s hope that the sun will come out soon.
Her family is on edge, she needs to travel alone across the city, a bully is out to get her, and Maya has to face this winter\'s biggest rainstorm without a coat or an umbrella.
And today might be Maya\'s toughest yet.
But after tragedy strikes her family, almost-eleven-year-old Maya has a painful secret that makes many days feel nearly impossible.
There are cliques and mean kids and homework and surprise math tests.
Fifth grade can be tough for anyone.
