Description From Newbery-winning author Betsy Byars comes a story full of "poignancy, perception, and humor" (The Chicago Tribune), about three foster kids who learn what it takes to make a family.
And all three of them start to see that they can take control of their own lives..
But against her will and her better judgment, Carlie and the boys become friends.
As soon as you get settled, somebody puts another coin in the machine and off you go again.
Stuck in a foster home with two other kids, Harvey and Thomas J, she\'s just a pinball being bounced from bumper to bumper.
Carlie knows she\'s got no say in what happens to her.
You can\'t always decide where life will take you--especially when you\'re a kid.
