Summer Around the World: "Nowhere Child" by Christian White 🇦🇺

Since we discovered such good books last time, I am repeating the theme of Traveling Around the World for Summer! And we begin by revisiting Australia.

A little girl went missing years ago. That child is you.

One photograph is all it takes to turn your world upside down. You stare at the picture. It shows a missing child who was abducted from her Kentucky home twenty years ago. But the kidnapped child doesn’t just look like you . . . she is you!

Your real name is Sammy Went, you were not born in Australia, and the people you thought were family have been lying to you all your life. You are having a hard time believing they crossed international borders to steal a toddler.

But what really happened all those years ago? And how far would you go for the truth?
