About This Book

The narrative follows a cheerful seven-year-old girl who relocates with her family to Florida and discovers a new home through small adventures and everyday challenges. Vignettes show her learning outdoor skills—fishing, swimming, stilt-walking—making companions, caring for animals, practicing dressmaking, and joining local events such as a horse race; a later crisis involving a cherished animal creates anxious hours that culminate in a dramatic rescue.
