A Stitch In Time

"There’s nothing ordinary about a high-spirited 11-year-old orphan named Donut who adores taxidermied mice. However, her inconsolable grief over the recent loss of her father is compounded when disagreeable Aunt Agnes shows up, intent on dragging Donut back to Boston with her. Fearing losing even more — her friends, community and the rural Vermont life she has come to love — Donut runs away into the woods. Set in 1927, Daphne Kalmar’s * A Stitch In Time* introduces you to a heroine who will find a way into your heart as she searches for home. (For ages 8 to 12)"
