Far From Home — Frieda Wishinsky

This time Matt and Emily board a ship heading for Halifax at the beginning of World War II. There they meet Brits Kate and her little brother, John, sent to Canada to escape the blitz. As they are about to dock, a desperate Kate can't find John anywhere, and she promised her parents she'd take care of her little brother! Emily and Matt help Kate search the ship for John, but where is he? Will they find him before the ship heads back to England? Far from Home deftly blends memorable characters, an edge-of-your-seat adventure, and vibrant artwork.
