Intended Audience: This book would be of benefit for students in 9th grade and up, who are interested in reading about being accepted and standing your ground on your beliefs. I liked this book because Matt, the main character showed her maturity and at the same time stood her ground and defended her family.
Lesson: Students could create a poster describing each character and present to classmates.
Annotation: The main character Matt, is a young teen who has been moved from home to home. She finally ends up with Sam and Jessica Fox, who are Quakers and have also adopted a disabled boy Rory. They are an over protective couple who finally make Matt feel safe at home. However, Matt feels she should stand up for them, when they are bullied and challenged because of their peaceful principle believes of war.
