Plus her favorite sister, Joanie Baloney, is away for the summer and hasn"t been answering any of Frankie"s letters.

Frankie has to do some spying of her own to try to figure out her father"s secrets and clear his good name.

Stout weaves a story about family secrets, intolerance, and coming of age that will keep readers guessing until the end. Includes a note read by the author Advance praise forA Tiny Piece of Sky: "Shawn Stout's Frankie Baum is that rare creation: a character so real, so true, we don't just feel we know her-we are her. Irrepressible Frankie meets issues like prejudice and loyalty head on, in a story both highly entertaining and deeply thought-provoking. She may be #3 in her family, but she'll be #1 in the hearts of all who read this book."-Tricia Springstubb, author ofWhat Happened on Fox Street "At turns hilarious, at turns heartbreaking, Shawn Stout"s story shows us the damage that a whisper campaign can do to a family and a community, and at the same time shows us, each of us, a way to find our hearts. Frankie Baum is a hero from a distant time and yet a hero for all times, the kind of hero who never gets old. I loved this book from the very beginning to the very end."-Kathi Appelt, author of the National Book Award finalist and Newbery Honor book The Underneath 'Stout uses an archly chummy direct address at several points, successfully and humorously breaking up tension in this cleareyed look at bad behavior by society....Successfully warmhearted and child-centered.'-Kirkus Reviews From the Compact Disc edition.

Zero Day

Eight years ago Addie Webster was the victim of the most notorious kidnapping of the decade. She vanished-and her high-profile parents were forced to move on. Mark Webster is now president of the United States and fighting to keep the Oval Office after a tumultuous first term. Then the unthinkable happens: the president's daughter resurfaces. Addie is brought back into the family fold, but who is this sixteen-year-old girl with a quiet, burning intelligence now living in the White House? There are those in the president's political circle who find her timely return suspicious. When a national security advisor approaches Darrow Fergusson, Addie's childhood best friend and the son of the president's chief of staff, he doesn't know what to think. How could the girl he's missed for all these years be a threat to national security? Still, at the risk of having his own secrets exposed, Darrow agrees to spy on Addie and soon realizes that his old friend is much more than the traumatized victim of a sick political fringe group. Addie has come with a mission ... but will she choose to complete it? "Gangsei's debut clearly benefits from her Washington, DC, experience and although settings and time periods shift frequently, it's always easy to follow the swift-paced plot. Set in the very near future, this has refreshing multicultural elements (both Addie and Darrow are biracial), realistic instances of terrorism, and what feels like an insider's look at the White House."-Booklist
