Center of Gravity

Tessa is an anxious person, but it's become worse since her mother died a few months ago. To calm herself down she cuts out photos of missing kids - from milk cartons - and keeps them in a file. It helps her feel like she's not alone.

When her dad announces suddenly that he's getting married - and that they're moving - Tessa must navigate new friendships and a new stepmother. She knows she should let go of old habits, but that's easier said than done. Her struggle is one that many readers will understand.
