Published 2016-04-12 · 310 pages

When eleven-year-old Thyme Owens little brother, Val, is accepted into a new cancer drug trial, it s just the second chance that he needs. But it also means the Owens family has to move to New York, thousands of miles away from Thyme s best friend and everything she knows and loves. The island of Manhattan doesn t exactly inspire new beginnings, but Thyme tries to embrace the change for what it is: temporary. After Val s treatment shows real promise and Mr. Owens accepts a full-time position in the city, Thyme has to face the frightening possibility that the move to New York is permanent.
