Phoebe Rose dreams of becoming an artist when she grows up. However, the only person who encourages her is her father. One day he disappears, and Phoebe and her mother are forced to live out on the streets dragging a suitcase with all of their belongings from soup kitchen to soup kitchen looking for food, trying to find places to sleep, and trying to survive. Homelessness makes Phoebe so sad that she stops drawing and nobody notices. When Phoebe loses the suitcase at a bus station, her mother sends her to live with her grandmother for the summer at Full Moon Lake. That's when her new life begins.

When Phoebe arrives at Full Moon Lake she's distrustful, but slowly adjusts to life in the country. She has a real home, good food and a sky full of stars for wishing. Best of all, there's Ruby, a new sisterlike friend who sparks Phoebe's imagination and encourages her love for drawing. When Phoebe's mother comes to Full Moon Lake with plans to return to the city with her, Phoebe isn't sure what she wants. Will she return to the city with her mother or will she stay with her grandmother?

This book will make you feel glad that you have a home and don't have to live out on the streets. If I had been Phoebe, I would have stayed with my grandmother. If you like moving stories, you're going to like this book!
