"I really recommend that you read both of these wonderful books ... If you're not familiar with Winget's books, now's the time to change that. She is a top-notch author with books you'll feel comfortable sharing with Middle Graders"--Pick A Good Book
A mysterious girl with a secret
A terrible dilemma
What's worse, betraying someone's trust, or losing another home?
Twelve year old Poppy Parker is still adjusting to her new life with Detective Trey Brannigan and his mother when she meets a strange, secretive red-haired girl named Presley. Presley is friendly and all, but why does she struggle to remember how to spell her own last name? And why is she afraid of Trey when he's done nothing to her--after all, who's afraid of a person they've never even met?
Confused and a little worried, Poppy soon discovers that Presley is hiding a secret. A big one. A bad one. She should tell Trey--but Presley is begging her not to tell anyone.
Poppy is now facing an impossible dilemma. If she reveals the truth, a life could be lost--the life of an innocent person. But if she keeps Presley's secret, she will betray the trust of her new family and possibly lose her home. Again. Just six months after losing her old one.
Can she find a way to make the right choice? Is there a right choice in a situation like this?

"A Compelling, Emotionally Gripping Read"--Booklist She has to save her grandma and their home. She also needs to avoid a dangerous robber. And she must ... definitely ... save the dog. When her Grandma Beth ends up in the hospital after a stroke, twelve-year-old Poppy Parker realizes she has to come up with a plan that will get their life together back to normal. Somehow. But how is she supposed to do that when there's a robber seeking to shut her up for good? Frightened, but refusing to give up, Poppy soon ends up in the most unusual witness protection program ever: she'll be temporarily staying with the lead detective's mother. Who happens to be really nice, so Poppy starts feeling almost at home. She even makes sort-of friends with a girl named Lizzie, and happily befriends Gunner, a beautiful dog with an uncertain future. It's time for new plans now. Get Grandma Beth back home. Don't let the robber catch her. With Lizzie's help, save Gunner's life. There's just one scary question left: what happens if the robber is safely put behind bars, but Grandma Beth still can't go back home? 2016-2017 Kansas William Allen White Children's Book Award 2016 Missouri Mark Twain Reader's Award New Hampshire Great Stone Face Award finalist Pennsylvania Keystone to Reading Book Award finalist South Carolina Children's Book Award finalist
