"Timeless and beautiful, and it deserves to be read by people of all ages." Printz Award-winning author Melina Marchetta If you asked eleven-year-old Fred to draw a map of her family, it would be a bit confusing. Her birth father was never in the picture, her mom died years ago, and her stepfather, Luca, is now expecting a baby with his new girlfriend. According to Freds teacher, maps dont always give the full picture of our history, but more and more it feels like Freds family is redrawing the line of their story . . . and Fred is feeling left off the map.Soon after learning about the baby, Fred hears that the town will be taking in hundreds of refugees seeking safety from a war-torn Kosovo. Some people in town, like Luca, think its great and want to help. Others, however, feel differently, causing friction within the community.Fred, who has been trying to navigate her own feelings of displacement, ends up befriending a few refugees. But what starts as a few friendly words in Albanian will soon change their lives forever, not to mention completely redrawing Freds personal map of friends, family, and home, and community.
