Note | When eleven-year-old Thyme Owens' little brother, Val, is accepted into a new cancer drug trial, the Owens family has to move to New York, thousands of miles away from Thyme's best friend and everything she knows and loves... but at least it's temporary. After Val's treatment shows real promise and Mr. Owens accepts a full-time position in the city, Thyme has to face the frightening possibility that the move to New York is permanent. Thyme loves her brother, and knows the trial could save his life but she still wants to go home, although the guilt of not wanting to stay is agonizing. She finds herself even more mixed up when her heart feels the tug of new friends, a first crush, and even a crotchety neighbor and his sweet whistling bird. |
