After moving from her beloved Detroit neighborhood to an unfamiliar suburb, Georgia lies to enter a poetry contest for Detroit residents only. With her brother in Vietnam, Georgia tries to settle into her new life, but she misses her old friend Ceci, her familiar street, and the local deli. She wonders if she'll ever belong.
To make matters worse, Georgia must intercept the contest announcement before her family uncovers her deception. During that summer, Georgia discovers her own resilience and the power of truth when lies ring hollow. For middle grade readers who enjoy historical fiction, friendship stories, and coming-of-age tales. Keywords: 1960s Detroit, middle grade historical fiction, friendship.
