The Distance to Home

Written by Jenn bishop

I read this book and my 11 year old and my 15 year old read this as well. We loved this book and we couldn’t put it down. It was amazing to read about the problems the main character had to overcome with her father and losing someone close to her, and the way the father would go back and forth between his memories of the past and future. It shows what happens in a death, and maybe it will help a child to better understand trials they are going through. I cannot express enough that this book was amazing. I would buy this book in a book fair.
