Almost Home
a novel by Nora Raleigh Baskin
Kirkus Reviews
“Baskin creates a perfect tween voice in Leah, whose painfully real emotions and reactions help her find solace in an imperfect world. Heart-wrenching, bittersweet, and genuine to the very end.”
Publisher’s Weekly
“Baskin’s delicate exposition of emotionally fraught terrain will likely evoke strong responses from her preadolescent audience.”
Booklist
” Characters are very appealing, and the plot will hold readers’ attention.”
The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The book offers a particularly tender acknowledgment of the importance of sibling bonds. This is a respectful and affecting portrait of a girl discovering family strengths as well as family weaknesses.”
