Sunny Skyland longs to be reunited with her twin sister, Starr. With only an old photograph, taken a few days before the girls were separated at age three, to guide her, Sunny begins the cross-country journey that she has dreamed of during her ten years in various foster homes. Sunny’s quest quickly becomes complicated when she rescues an abandoned dog, but happy memories of Starr keep her going. Despite encounters with bullies, bus drivers who can’t accept dogs as passengers, and a life-threatening tornado, Sunny manages to locate her twin, only to be faced with a whole different challenge. In Runaway Twin, award-winner Peg Kehret combines suspense and action with reflections on the true meaning of family as Sunny learns that sometimes we must let go of our dreams in order to embrace a different, better future.
