Natasha Friend, I loved your book. I peeked at the first page and was hooked. Judy Blume The first month of school, thirteen-year-old Anna Collette finds herself. . . . Dumped by her best friend, Dani, who suddenly wants to spend eighth grade hanging out with different people. Deserted by her mom, who s in the hospital recovering from a suicide attempt. Trapped in a house with her dad, a new baby sister, and a stepmother young enough to wear her Delta Delta Delta sweatshirt with pride. Stuck at a lunch table with Shawna the Eyebrow Plucker and Sarabeth the Irish Stepper because she has no one else to sit with. But what if all isn t lost? What if Anna s mom didn t exactly mean to leave her? What if Anna s stepmother is cooler than she thought? What if the misfit lunch table isn t such a bad fit after all? With help from some unlikely sources, including a crazy girl-band talent show act, Anna just may find herself on the road to okay. Heartfelt and heartbreaking, Where You'll Find Me by Natasha Friend is a moving story about the sometimes unconventional bonds of friendship and family. "
