Thirteen-year-old Sunny Skyland has been from foster home to foster home. Her father left the family before she was born and her mother and grandmother were killed in a car accident. Sunny and her twin sister, Starr, were separated the day of the funeral and Sunny has a dream of being reunited with her sister and finally having family to love. So, when she finds a bag of money, she decides it is her ticket to find Starr. Packing a few things in a backpack and dying her hair, she buys a bus ticket and sets off for Eumenclaw, Washington. She didn’t count on bullies on the road, a stray dog or a tornado that wipes out a town. She also didn’t count on having a twin who has no idea she exists and does not want her around. “Twinkie, twinkie little Starr, “ is the mantra Sunny has sung for years. Now, she, just like Dorothy and Toto, has learned that there is no place like home.
