Glow: An Inspiring Chapter Book for Girls about Anxiety by Emma Meyer
This is a fantastic story about Mia and she lives with her mother in Brooklyn. Mia goes to school and has many friends there, She feels very comfortable in her city and the activates she is able to do. Her mother has bad news for them one night and Mia finds out they must leave the city and head to where the grandfather lives. She is sad to part with her friends and her anxiety is really bad along the trip. It takes them longer than a day in the rusty, old, leaking truck with their things. When they arrive Mia is shocked by the dead town. Nobody is outside and stores appear to be closed. After a nap she wakes up to find hikers come into her grandfather's place and he feeds them. He runs a hiking lodge of sorts and is always busy.
Mia does not like the place, nor the town nor the woods all around them.
She finds others who are about her age and they bond after some time.
I like this story because Mia has to learn patience and she even opens up to her grandfather who helps her out. Love the library and how things with friends are so important to feel a part of something. Each time something good happens Mia glows inside. She even turns the glow onto her mother who is also beginning to love the place. Home is where your heart is and they have found home again. Love hearing of all the treasures the locals show her and how she's able to learn to survive and help others when in need.
Great story, can't wait to read the rest in the seriers.
