There's No Place Like My Own Home
Today is Alyssa's first day at Lee Ponder Intermediate School. Along with learning new names, faces, and classrooms, she has to maintain her secret. One that she doesn't want anyone to know, not even her new best friend, Onika.
When Alyssa's teacher gives the class an assignment to write a letter to a student living in Alabama whose school and home were destroyed by a tornado, she bears her soul. However, when the note is lost and believes the school's bully, Marcus has found it and fears soon the entire school will know what she has tried to keep secret for so long. In the end, a fantastic sequence of events unfold.
