06/30/2011 7:00 pm
Big
things are about the happen at Maple's house. Mama's going to have a
baby, which means now there will be four Rittle sisters instead of just
three. But when baby Lily is born too early and can't come home from the
hospital, Maple knows it's up to her to save her sister. So she and
Dawn, armed with a map and some leftover dinner, head off down a river
and up a mountain to find the Wise Woman who can grant miracles. Now
it's not only Lily's survival that they have to worry about, but also
their own. The dangers that Maple and Dawn encounter on their journey
makes them realize a thing or two about miracles-and about each other.
"A heartfelt tale of familial love, with just a touch of magic"--Publishers Weekly
“This
story is filled with adventure, hope, and love, and at the end, what we
know is that Maple is a miracle too. When you get to the last page of
Erin Moulton's debut book, you're going to want to go right back to the
beginning and start all over again." -Kathi Appelt, author of the
Newbery Honor Book The Underneath
