by Sharon Jennings, the charming story of Lee Mets – one of our Gutsy Girls – has made it to the shortlist of the Governor General’s Awards for Children’s Literature, text.
The jury has this to say about Home Free:
Eleven-year-old Lee Mets goes about the complicated business of living with such verve and die-hard enthusiasm that one has no choice but to yell, “Bravo!” A cleverly-crafted story told from the heart, Sharon Jennings’s Home Free entertains and lifts the human spirit.
Congratulations to Sharon Jennings!!
