My One Hundred Adventures

THE WINNER OF a National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, and countless other awards has written her richest, most spirited book yet, filled with characters that readers will love, and never forget. Jane is 12 years old, and she is ready for adventures, to move beyond the world of her siblings and single mother and their house by the sea, and step into the 'know-not what.' Over the summer, adventures find Jane, including a thrilling ride in a hot-air balloon, encounters with possible fathers, and a new friendship with a preacher and psychic wannabe. Most importantly, Jane learns what lies at the heart of all great adventures: it's not what happens to you, but what you learn about yourself. Also, don't miss Polly Horvath's 'Northward to the Moon,' the sequel to 'My One Hundred Adventures.'
