Leah is an 11yo and lives on an army base. She knows what it's like to move around a lot, but this year her best friend is leaving, her sister is going to be a counselor at summer camp and her mother will be in reserve training. This leaves Leah home with her dad who just returned from deployment, and his moods have been unpredictable.
This would be a good read for kids whose parents are in the military as well as giving insight for the rest of us into some of their challenges. Leah's father is suffering from PTSD and that makes things difficult for their family. Although this is a fast read, it addresses some deeper topics of loss and relationships and mental health. Leah and her family are Caucasian.
