Reviews"I believe in Jack and his ability to understand his mother in shades of gray. I believe in his ability to be fiercely independent: to try and try and try . . . and at the same time to recognize that he needs others. That others are right there, waiting to catch him." - Jennifer Richard Jacobson - Quote, Jack's journey to a new kind of family is inspiring and never sappy Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Jack comes to realize that he hadn't been alone, that family and people he didn't even know were there for him in a imakeshift herd.' The happy yet realistic ending leaves Jack (and readers) ilight-headed with hope.'

Synopsis"A deeply perceptive look at the universal fear of abandonment." -- Booklist (starred review) Ever since Jack can remember, his mom has been unpredictable, sometimes loving and fun, other times caught in a whirlwind of energy and "spinning" wildly until it's over. But now she is gone, leaving him all alone on a campsite in Maine. Can he find his way back to Boston before the authorities realize what happened? With nothing but a small toy elephant to keep him company, Jack begins a journey that will test his wits and his loyalties -- and his trust that he may be part of a larger herd after all.
