This sweet contemporary story about poetry, family, and determining your own destiny is perfect for fans of books by Wendy Mass, Joan Bauer, Sharon Creech, and Rebecca Stead.
Eleven-year-old Emily Elizabeth Davis has never met her father, so when a book of poetry with his name in it goes missing, Emily and her friends search all over their hometown of Berkeley, California, hoping to track it down. Meanwhile, even though her English-professor mother insists that Emily is destined to become a poet (she named her after Emily Dickinson!), Emily secretly corresponds with her idol, romance writer Danielle Steel.
As Publishers Weekly says, Fitzmaurice's story deftly mingles Dickinson, Danielle Steel, a budding crush, and protesting tree sitters while maintaining suspense that leads to a satisfying ending.
Can Emily find the book, solve the mystery of her father, and finally write her own destiny?
- A Heartfelt Friendship Story: With her best friend Wavey and quirky cousin Mortie by her side, Emily's search becomes an unforgettable adventure through the streets of Berkeley.
- A Sweet First Crush: Navigating a budding crush on the mysterious Connor Kelly is almost as complicated as finding a one-of-a-kind book.
- The Power of Words: While her mom pushes the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Emily finds inspiration in the happy endings of her secret idol, Danielle Steel.
- Destiny vs. Free Will: Emily must decide whether to let fate guide her or to take control and rewrite her own story, once and for all.
