Books Descriptions
Caroline Murphy is a Hurricane Child.Being born during a
hurricane is unlucky, and 12-year-old Caroline has had her
share of bad luck lately. She's hated and bullied by everyone
in her small school on St. Thomas of the US Virgin Islands, a
spirit only she can see won't stop following her, and -- worst
of all -- Caroline's mother left home one day and never came
back.But when a new student named Kalinda arrives, Caroline's
luck begins to turn around. Kalinda, a solemn girl from
Barbados with a special smile for everyone, becomes Caroline's
first and only friend -- and the person for whom Caroline has
begun to develop a crush.Now, Caroline must find the strength
to confront her feelings for Kalinda, brave the spirit stalking
her through the islands, and face the reason her mother
abandoned her. Together, Caroline and Kalinda must set out in a
hurricane to find Caroline's missing mother -- before Caroline
loses her forever.
