10. Summary: This book is a chapter book that tells the story of Primrose. After her parents go missing, everyone believes they are dead. She, however, does not. Still, she is forced to move on. She goes from home to home as person after person either runs out of money or gives up on her. Every chapter follows every trial and tribulation she has to go through while trying to still keep hope that her parents are alive. This story is probably more appropriate for older grades, like 6th-8th. This story can be great to use to illustrate how emotional attachment can be put into the story with simple words.
