Finding Tate

AWARD WINNER! 2018 Global eBook Silver Medal! And a B.R.A.G. Medallion Award! In this middle grade novel, Finding Tate, summer is here and Taylor and her best friend, Carey, have planned “makeover” missions. Each girl has chosen one thing in her life she wants, no needs, to change before seventh grade begins in their new junior high. But when Taylor’s long-lost Aunt Julie appears out of the blue with her 15-year-old daughter, everything changes. Taylor suddenly has two more missions and lots of questions. Who is this quirky Tate? Why did Aunt Julie really leave and why has she returned? And why won’t Taylor's parents let her change her name and shape her own destiny? Friendship and family ties are stretched, but connection and courage save the day for everyone. By the end of the summer, Taylor has discovered much more than a new cousin.
