"Honest and real--and filled with heart and hope--ALL THE WAYS HOME is a story that sticks with you long after the last page."--Shannon Messenger, New York Times bestselling author of Keeper of the Lost Cities series
"A heartbreaking, hopeful, and triumphant exploration of forgiveness, family, and the meaning of home. Elsie Chapman brings a new meaning to the power of words in her middle grade debut."--Kheryn Callender, author of the Stonewall Book Award novel, Hurricane Child
"A gorgeous warm hug of a book. All the Ways Home broke my heart and made it better again, and I cheered for Kaede's perfect ending."--Stephanie Burgis, author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart
Sometimes, home isn't where you expect to find it.
After losing his mom in a fatal car crash, Kaede Hirano--now living with a grandfather who is more stranger than family--developed anger issues and spent his last year of middle school acting out.
Best-friendless and critically in danger repeating the seventh grade, Kaede is given a summer assignment: write an essay about what home means to him, which will be even tougher now that he's on his way to Japan to reconnect with his estranged father and older half-brother. Still, if there's a chance Kaede can finally build a new family from an old one, he's willing to try. But building new relationships isn't as easy as destroying his old ones, and one last desperate act will change the way Kaede sees everyone--including himself.
This is a book about what home means to us--and that there are many different correct answers.
