This sparkling middle-grade debut is a
classic-in-the-making!
Maybelle Lane is looking for her father, but on the road to
Nashville she finds so much more- courage, brains, heart--and true
friends.
KATE O'SHAUGHNESSY is a Newbery Honor winner for The Wrong Way Home
and author of The Lonely Heart of Maybelle Lane, and Lasagna Means
I Love You.
She is a book nerd, animal lover, former chef, and an outdoor
enthusiast. When she's not writing, you can find Kate in her
garden, eating good food, hiking with her dog, and chronically
mispronouncing words she's read but never heard said aloud. She
lives in California with her family.
"Maybelle Lane finds courage she didn't know she had—and it's
contagious. A rich and rewarding debut." —Kirkus
