The fire, the water, and Maudie McGinn
Sally J. Pla (Author), HarperCollins (Firm) (Publisher)
"Maudie McGinn has a secret. Maudie, who's autistic, can't wait to spend the summer with her dad. It's her escape from life with her mom and stepdad during the school year. But when a wildfire forces Maudie and her dad to evacuate, they head to the small beach town where her dad grew up. As Maudie starts to navigate new waters, she makes friends and feels accepted like never before--and even learns how to surf. Still the end of her trip looms. Soon, Maudie will have to go back and face her always-angry stepfather. Even though Maudie promised her mom she wouldn't tell anyone about her stepfather's temper, will she figure out how to reveal the truth before the summer is over?"-- Back cover
