Eleven-year-old Jubilee Johnson is an expert at three things:
crafting, moving, and avoiding goodbyes. On the search for the
"perfect place," she and her Nan live by their Number One
Relocation Rule-just the two of them is all they need. But
Jubilee's starting to feel like just two is a little too close to
alone. Desperate to settle down, Jubilee plans their next move,
Hope Springs, Texas-home of her TV crafting idol, Arletta Paisley.
Here she meets a girl set on winning the local fishing tournament
and a boy who says exactly the right thing by hardly speaking at
all. Soon, Jubilee wonders if Hope Springs might just be the place
to call home. But when the town is threatened by a mega-chain
superstore fronted by Arletta Paisley, Jubilee is faced with
skipping town yet again or standing up to her biggest bully yet.
With the help of her new friends and the one person she never
thought she'd need-her Momma-will Jubilee find a way to save the
town she's come to love and convince Nan that it's finally time to
settle down?

A heartwarming novel about a girl who must learn to let go of the
past and embrace the future, perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and
Barbara O'Connor. Eleven-year-old Mabel Cunningham is a quiet loner
who only feels free to be herself when she's "extreme treasure
hunting" with her grampa-much to her perfectionist mother's
disapproval. Nothing excites Mabel more than discovering a heart
find, an item that calls to her heart, and the maybes that come
along with it. But when her friendships start to crumble and her
grampa suffers a stroke, Mabel quickly learns that real-life maybes
are harder to handle than imagined ones. Desperate to change things
back to the way they were, Mabel devises a plan that she believes
will fix everything. Except bringing her plan to fruition means
lying to her grampa and disappointing her mother. Will Mabel learn
that letting go of the past doesn't mean letting go of her grampa
and that embracing the future might be one of her most important
heart finds yet?
