Description: Margaret can't wait to see her family, but her homecoming is not what she expected. Based on the true story of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, and complemented by evocative illustrations, Not My Girl makes the original, award-winning memoir, A Stranger at Home, accessible to younger children. It is also a sequel to the picture book When I Was Eight. A poignant story of a determined young girl's struggle to belong, it will both move and inspire readers everywhere.

Review Quotes: Transforms painful, unfortunate memories into another enduring story of resilience, tenderness, and unconditional love.--Terry Hong"BookDragon" (04/16/2014)
